  • "Polite Behavior Is Certainly Not Doing It": The Case on North Pender — North Pender Island shows what the Islands Trust model looks like in slow motion: a housing problem the Trust itself says has run "for more than a decade" before a dedicated response began, a complaint-driven enforcement system carrying a multi-year backlog, and broad land-use power that stops exactly where residents' most urgent needs begin. All of it is funded by a budget rising 8.1 per cent per household — one that even North Pender's own trustee suggested voting down to force the province to listen.
