  • A Reverse Dunkirk in Scottie Bay — The Islands Trust spent five years and a lawsuit trying to remove a private dock in Scottie Bay, defeating a second rezoning attempt in May 2025 — two months before a floatplane crash closed Lasqueti's only ferry dock and that same private dock became how marooned islanders got home. Paired with an enforcement system whose only escalation is court and land-use rules that leave guest cabins empty amid a housing shortage, the saga shows a process that is slow, discretionary, and disconnected from the island's ferry-dependent reality.
