[0:02:41] Trustee Luckham: is there anything else to add or remove to the agenda today and i'll look to staff as well as

[0:02:57] Trustee Luckham: consent and let's go to the minutes of uh public comment period let me just make sure that uh

[0:03:05] Trustee Luckham: And there's zero attendees presently in our meeting here, although it's possible folks may have had difficulty with the invite, as I did.

[0:03:18] Trustee Luckham: And so I'll maybe keep an eye on that and ask others to keep an eye on that if somebody shows up.

[0:03:24] Voice 2: Chair, I

[0:03:25] Voice 2: believe that the website link was accurate, but we will test that to ensure that that was the case during the meeting.

[0:03:32] Trustee Luckham: Well, actually, okay. Okay, well, great, then. So thank you for that. And so we'll just keep an eye on that, see if anybody shows up. Occasionally, there are the one resident that does live on the island, Staken Island, I think, sorry, my apologies for that. They do occasionally come to our meetings. So it's always a pleasure to see them, if they do.

[0:03:55] Voice 3: Mr. Chair?

[0:03:56] Voice 3: Yes.

[0:03:56] Voice 3: Just in case anybody out there is watching and wanting to get on the meeting, if you're having trouble connecting, they can reach out to the Salt Spring office and we'll be able to patch them through, reach out to you.

[0:04:07] Voice 3: If you're online, just look for the Salt Spring office. Our phone number is 538-9144, 250-538-9144.

[0:04:15] Voice 3: And there's also an email address they can get us online there as well if they're trying to get through.

[0:04:19] Voice 3: Okay. Super. Thanks for that, Chris.

[0:04:22] Trustee Luckham: Okay. So let's then look at the minutes of April the

[0:04:25] Trustee Luckham: 19th. Are there any changes to those minutes or can we adopt them as presented? Anybody have any

[0:04:31] Trustee Luckham: changes? Okay. So then it looks like there's general consent that the minutes are fine.

[0:04:38] Trustee Luckham: And so we'll adopt the minutes of April the 19th as presented. So thank you. Section 26,

[0:04:45] Trustee Luckham: 26th resolution without meeting report dated September 26th.

[0:04:49] Trustee Luckham: A couple of items there that are administrative in nature

[0:04:52] Trustee Luckham: that were resolved without a meeting.

[0:04:55] Trustee Luckham: And that's just for information.

[0:04:58] Trustee Luckham: And if that's all right, I'll continue on.

[0:05:01] Trustee Luckham: We'll receive that for information.

[0:05:02] Trustee Luckham: We'll go to the follow-up action list

[0:05:04] Trustee Luckham: dated September 26th, also for information,

[0:05:08] Trustee Luckham: but I'll turn to Chris Hutton, Regional Planning Manager,

[0:05:13] Trustee Luckham: chair if he has any further updates on the action list otherwise i'll ask trustees if they have any

[0:05:17] Trustee Luckham: questions uh

[0:05:19] Voice 3: mr chair there's no update other than what uh the the follow-up action list is

[0:05:23] Voice 3: current uh so it's um and we do have a report on later today uh about one of the items to follow

[0:05:30] Voice 3: up on uh and the rest are as shown okay

[0:05:34] Trustee Luckham: super thank you any questions for rpm

[0:05:37] Voice 9: hutton just

[0:05:50] Voice 9: Just

[0:05:52] Trustee Luckham: go ahead, Trustee Elliott, I see you.

[0:05:54] Trustee Elliott: Yeah, I just wanted about item two,

[0:05:57] Trustee Elliott: the updates and invitations.

[0:05:59] Trustee Elliott: Have those already gone out?

[0:06:01] Trustee Elliott: I see that it's in progress,

[0:06:03] Trustee Elliott: but this isn't the letters of introduction.

[0:06:06] Trustee Elliott: Is this, actually, what is this item?

[0:06:09] Trustee Elliott: I

[0:06:10] Trustee Luckham: think that is the letter of introduction.

[0:06:11] Trustee Luckham: Although, Chris, you can answer that question.

[0:06:14] Voice 3: Item number, there was a letter of introduction on here,

[0:06:18] Voice 3: and those obviously went out.

[0:06:19] Voice 3: however we did not manage to uh i don't believe did we do this last week i think we may have sent

[0:06:25] Voice 3: a late notice um rob i think you're gonna mr pingel you're gonna reach

[0:06:28] Voice 2: out on that as as i

[0:06:30] Voice 2: understand that item it is a reminder for staff in progress so perpetually a reminder that because

[0:06:41] Voice 2: because the meeting is infrequent, that we send an email, you know, an email to those two groups

[0:06:49] Voice 2: before the meeting. And so I sent them an email with the agenda and all the information. And I

[0:06:58] Voice 2: said, if they would like to speak, I'm happy to also share them a participant direct link

[0:07:05] Voice 2: so that they didn't have to go through the website. That's how I understand that is that

[0:07:10] Voice 2: for the two meetings a year, we make sure we send them a direct invitation when the agenda is

[0:07:17] Voice 2: published. If you feel it should be addressed differently, I'd be happy to take advice.

[0:07:24] Trustee Elliott: Sorry, are we talking about item two, the updates and invitations regarding the SNANAS

[0:07:30] Trustee Elliott: First Nation Island Trust Protocol Agreement, or were you talking about number three?

[0:07:36] Voice 2: Oh, I might be on the wrong page.

[0:07:38] Trustee Luckham: i think he's talking about number one actually from uh

[0:07:41] Trustee Elliott: yes sorry page nine uh two regarding the

[0:07:45] Trustee Elliott: protocol agreement um that's under director freighter just wondered if that's a separate

[0:07:52] Trustee Elliott: letter or that's part of the letter of introduction that's gone out to um the

[0:07:57] Voice 4: nation i

[0:08:01] Voice 3: think um we'll

[0:08:03] Voice 3: have to get back to you on this one um yeah i'm happy to follow up with with mr chairman i'm happy

[0:08:08] Voice 3: to follow up with um with ltc on this uh in writing at a later date uh and we can we can

[0:08:15] Voice 3: follow up on that the next um ltc as well regarding the status of this item right

[0:08:20] Trustee Luckham: and of course robin

[0:08:22] Trustee Luckham: could chime in on that to support you but i i think that likely this is wrapped in with all

[0:08:27] Trustee Luckham: the letters that have gone out to all the nations and um we're we're waiting and anticipating some

[0:08:34] Trustee Luckham: follow-up either from the nation or from ourselves to determine actual work but let's leave that with

[0:08:41] Trustee Luckham: you and perhaps if that because we meet so infrequently chris if you had learned something

[0:08:48] Trustee Luckham: before our meeting it might be useful to circulate that to us outside of the context of the meeting

[0:08:53] Trustee Luckham: not looking for decisions or anything but for just for information thank you for that trustee

[0:08:59] Trustee Luckham: anything else on the follow-up action list okay let

[0:09:06] Trustee Luckham: me get back to my agenda here working on

[0:09:08] Trustee Luckham: two screens here today which i don't usually do um okay so this brings us to uh the draft bylaw

[0:09:18] Trustee Luckham: number 37 free of information protection and privacy that's here for adoption i think we're

[0:09:23] Trustee Luckham: all pretty familiar with this process at this time but um chris do you have any additional

[0:09:28] Trustee Luckham: remarks otherwise i'll look for a motion to adopt no

[0:09:31] Voice 3: additional remarks mr chair is everybody

[0:09:34] Trustee Luckham: comfortable with what we know about this at ltcs that's great could i get somebody to make a motion

[0:09:39] Trustee Luckham: and i'll seek a seconder

[0:09:41] Trustee Maude: um i move that the executive committee acting as local trust

[0:09:45] Trustee Maude: committee belinas winchester islands byline number 37 cited as executive committee acting

[0:09:51] Trustee Maude: as local trust committee belinas winchester islands freedom of information protocol

[0:10:20] Trustee Luckham: that carries unanimously and thank you everyone so applications and referrals uh nothing there

[0:10:27] Trustee Luckham: there today, pretty quiet.

[0:10:28] Trustee Luckham: This is kind of a good thing.

[0:10:30] Trustee Luckham: And local trust committee projects, none.

[0:10:34] Trustee Luckham: We did have a discussion about that at the last meeting

[0:10:37] Trustee Luckham: referred to in the minutes.

[0:10:39] Trustee Luckham: So unless there's some further action at this time,

[0:10:41] Trustee Luckham: we'll continue delegations.

[0:10:44] Trustee Luckham: Nobody asked for delegation today.

[0:10:47] Trustee Luckham: And I'm just gonna have another peek.

[0:10:49] Trustee Luckham: Oh, there is an attendee.

[0:10:51] Trustee Luckham: And that's Kalyan Selvarkumar.

[0:10:57] Voice 3: Mr. Chair? Yes.

[0:10:59] Voice 3: I'll maybe just introduce Kalyan. He's actually the new planning team assistant at the Islands Trust. So he's here to train with Mr. Pingel today, but good opportunity to meet him. So I'd really like to say hello to Mr. Kumar.

[0:11:13] Voice 3: Mr. Kumar.

[0:11:16] Trustee Luckham: Hello. Welcome.

[0:11:18] Trustee Luckham: Yeah, welcome. So that obviously

[0:11:20] Trustee Luckham: tests the attendees portion

[0:11:22] Trustee Luckham: of the website. So thank you for taking

[0:11:24] Trustee Luckham: on that responsibility and thank you, Rob,

[0:11:26] Trustee Luckham: for organizing that.

[0:11:28] Trustee Maude: But this is not a typical LTC

[0:11:30] Trustee Maude: meeting.

[0:11:31] Trustee Luckham: No, this is

[0:11:32] Trustee Luckham: a little unusual.

[0:11:35] Voice 3: That's your first one, eh?

[0:11:37] Voice 3: Yeah. Thanks, Cal.

[0:11:39] Trustee Luckham: You're welcome, Matt. Thanks, Chris.

[0:11:40] Trustee Luckham: Thank you.

[0:11:42] Trustee Luckham: Okay. So then I'm going to continue on then. So the one new business item here is the Mount Aerosmith Biosphere Region Staff Report, which contains minutes from their previous meeting. So, Chris, you were in attendance at that meeting, and was that electronic or actually in person? And I'll turn it over to you.

[0:12:05] Trustee Luckham: uh

[0:12:05] Voice 3: thank you mr chair yeah i had the uh the chance to meet with the um round table in person

[0:12:10] Voice 3: at uh oceanside um at the end of september the middle of september there um great group um a lot

[0:12:17] Voice 3: of energy uh but primarily made up of elected officials and um and sort of leaders of local

[0:12:24] Voice 3: organizations tourism and education primarily so um a lot of exciting work going on at the mount

[0:12:32] Voice 3: Arismith Biosphere Region. They've recently come into a new space in Qualicum Beach that'll be

[0:12:40] Voice 3: serving, I think, really help them to provide service right in the middle of the heart of the

[0:12:45] Voice 3: biosphere region. And I think there is some interest in working with LTC, obviously the

[0:12:51] Voice 3: intent of the biosphere region in terms of demonstrating how to live in harmony with

[0:12:56] Voice 3: um with the natural world um and the island trust mandate uh very well aligned um also i should say

[0:13:02] Voice 3: that a number of uh there are a number of uh first nations um representatives uh people who work with

[0:13:08] Voice 3: first nations uh in attendance as well so it's very good group uh it's very action oriented

[0:13:14] Voice 3: um the of course the uh historically this round table has actually been attended by a

[0:13:21] Voice 3: representative from staff um however um i given the election in the last year and the move from

[0:13:29] Voice 3: the northern office to the salt spain office of the liam smith chelsea local trust area

[0:13:36] Voice 3: administration we just wanted to bring back the question of what would um executive

[0:13:43] Voice 3: prefer it really is up to you to appoint a member and in my discussion with the um

[0:13:48] Voice 3: with the coordinator at the mount dior biosphere roundtable they did actually their terms require

[0:13:52] Voice 3: them to uh to have their their members appointed by their their governing body

[0:13:59] Voice 3: that's uh that's pretty much the purpose you can see as as you noted mr chair that the notes are

[0:14:04] Voice 3: in there from the last meeting um i think one of the really exciting things i think is they're

[0:14:08] Voice 3: coming up on celebrating 25 years the biosphere is a unesco biosphere site um so in the next year or

[0:14:14] Voice 3: so. It's going to be a lot of exciting work happening. And I think acknowledging the water

[0:14:20] Voice 3: portion that Gallant Trust sits on primarily is going to be certainly potentially a really

[0:14:25] Voice 3: important part of that conversation.

[0:14:28] Trustee Luckham: Thank you, Chris. I'll just add in,

[0:14:31] Trustee Luckham: I actually have attended a couple of meetings of that group over the years, and know a number of

[0:14:38] Trustee Luckham: of no few of the people within the organization.

[0:14:43] Trustee Luckham: The real joy of that organization

[0:14:45] Trustee Luckham: is actually a university sort of component to it

[0:14:51] Trustee Luckham: and a youth component to it that brings new ideas

[0:14:54] Trustee Luckham: and youth into the conversation.

[0:14:56] Trustee Luckham: And the topic of restoration of the basketball court

[0:15:00] Trustee Luckham: is sort of easy win in advancing

[0:15:03] Trustee Luckham: the interest of the biosphere.

[0:15:06] Trustee Luckham: And so, yeah, I think it would be better for us to have more participation in that and a formal appointment would facilitate that.

[0:15:20] Trustee Luckham: um it's also obviously of great interest to all of council not just this ltc and of course the name

[0:15:27] Trustee Luckham: of uh well and the gabriola ltc um as well as potentially um i'm not sure the exact topography

[0:15:35] Trustee Luckham: there but probably it would be uh the name of territory and the gabriella ltc's area may

[0:15:43] Trustee Luckham: touch in that area but certainly this one is definitely directly in there so um over to

[0:15:51] Trustee Luckham: uh vice chair or lcc trustees in this case any questions or comments or remarks or

[0:15:59] Trustee Luckham: otherwise trustee elliott

[0:16:00] Voice 4: yes hi sorry just muted myself um

[0:16:06] Trustee Elliott: could we contact graham to get a copy

[0:16:10] Trustee Elliott: of the two presentations that they did

[0:16:14] Trustee Elliott: to the Canadian Mountain Network's

[0:16:16] Trustee Elliott: Annual Knowledge Sharing Summit.

[0:16:18] Trustee Elliott: I think they could be of interest to the Conservancy.

[0:16:21] Voice 4: I didn't see a contact info.

[0:16:24] Voice 4: So, I mean, I could follow up with Graham,

[0:16:27] Voice 4: but I think this would be an interesting conversation starter,

[0:16:32] Voice 4: especially braiding knowledges together.

[0:16:39] Trustee Luckham: Yeah.

[0:16:40] Trustee Luckham: yeah so would you like i think maybe a staff to staff component there might be useful and

[0:16:46] Trustee Luckham: do you need a motion to undertake that activity chris uh

[0:16:50] Voice 3: just with the not so much to get the

[0:16:52] Voice 3: presentation but to get a clarity of what the expectation of where that presentation would go

[0:16:56] Voice 3: i kind of heard that you would like that to go to trust council more widely um or um or that you'd

[0:17:03] Voice 3: like to just bring it back to you i think the

[0:17:05] Trustee Elliott: conservancy at this point um but it would be

[0:17:10] Trustee Elliott: interesting to see if um mabry or if he'd be interested in tailoring a converse or a

[0:17:16] Trustee Elliott: presentation for trust camp so perhaps next year um he's already got

[0:17:25] Trustee Elliott: two presentations that i'd

[0:17:29] Voice 3: go ahead chris uh mr chair i i think that's um i i think it's worthwhile if if um if

[0:17:38] Voice 3: ltc is so inclined to suggest that this go to trust council or come back to be either

[0:17:44] Voice 3: coached with trust council or with with this ltc um the the biosphere region itself is um the the

[0:17:50] Voice 3: portion that intersects with island structures is entirely within the bolinas winchelsea

[0:17:55] Voice 3: the lta um so it's it's not a very large area actually um in terms of how far it goes into the

[0:18:01] Voice 3: out into the water um but um so that's that's one one thing to consider however i do you know the

[0:18:08] Voice 3: the alignment with a conservancy is probably very ideal um there's probably a lot of opportunity

[0:18:13] Voice 3: there and overlap so um

[0:18:16] Voice 3: however if you if you'd like to have either um have the invite the um

[0:18:23] Voice 3: the mobbery to come and do a delegation to this group about what what mobbery is more more fully

[0:18:28] Voice 3: um and and orient you to that um or um or just have them come to the trust council and sort of

[0:18:35] Voice 3: make themselves known to them i think either case those are those are good options and um

[0:18:39] Voice 3: we can if um if ltc feels so inclined um definitely take a resolution to invite them to

[0:18:46] Voice 3: to do a delegation um i wouldn't suggest that you wait to do the appointment because there's

[0:18:52] Voice 3: There's another meeting coming up in December.

[0:18:53] Voice 3: So we would like to probably continue the business while we're doing that.

[0:18:58] Trustee Luckham: Yeah, I'll come to Tim second there.

[0:19:01] Trustee Luckham: My suggestion would be let's make the appointment and then the appointment can raise some communication at the group and have a conversation with them about what they might consider within their capacity to do for either the LTC or balanced trust.

[0:19:19] Trustee Luckham: because i'm not so sure that all trust areas would necessarily have a deep interest in what's

[0:19:26] Trustee Luckham: happening on um mount airsmith anyway that's

[0:19:30] Trustee Elliott: exactly why i said the the conservancy would

[0:19:32] Trustee Luckham: be the conservancy is an excellent uh recommendation so trustee peterson over to you and

[0:19:40] Voice 7: uh thank you chair so my thoughts on this is that um if trustee elliott is willing

[0:19:47] Voice 7: I think by virtue of her being the EC Conservancy rep,

[0:19:54] Voice 7: I think she would be the natural sort of appointment.

[0:20:00] Voice 7: I don't know if we would normally appoint an alternate,

[0:20:05] Voice 7: but I'd be willing to be the alternate if that were the case.

[0:20:10] Voice 7: And yeah, so that was my thought.

[0:20:14] Voice 7: i'm i'm not sure how how well trustee elliott is but i guess we'll find out in a moment

[0:20:20] Trustee Luckham: i'm stuck in that motion no well it didn't sound like a motion

[0:20:24] Trustee Elliott: that's not

[0:20:25] Trustee Elliott: fair you should get the

[0:20:27] Trustee Luckham: motion on the floor and then we should ask the nominee if they're interested but i'll just chime

[0:20:33] Trustee Luckham: in although i'm inclined not to take on more responsibility i would um also enjoy being a

[0:20:39] Trustee Luckham: a rep on that and um i also might suggest that perhaps risa smith might be a person that would

[0:20:45] Trustee Luckham: be very interested in that as well the chair of the honest trust conservancy but uh uh so so

[0:20:52] Trustee Luckham: trustee peterson you're you've been very kind and offered up toby elliott and offered to stand in as

[0:20:59] Trustee Luckham: a second toby elliott what are your thoughts um

[0:21:03] Trustee Elliott: thank you for that um i'm really interested in

[0:21:07] Trustee Elliott: in the work of Mabry and the model,

[0:21:10] Trustee Elliott: and it's piqued my interest for at least five or six years.

[0:21:14] Trustee Elliott: So I'd welcome the opportunity to learn more.

[0:21:17] Trustee Elliott: The challenge is that I seem to be overbooked.

[0:21:21] Trustee Elliott: I haven't been able to make a single meeting

[0:21:23] Trustee Elliott: with the climate change readiness group,

[0:21:28] Trustee Elliott: although they've only had two

[0:21:29] Trustee Elliott: since I was appointed as a representative there.

[0:21:32] Trustee Elliott: So wanted to ask how often the meetings were.

[0:21:36] Trustee Elliott: i couldn't find a schedule is it quarterly they're

[0:21:40] Voice 3: generally bi-monthly um i think about

[0:21:43] Voice 3: five meetings a year that makes sense and

[0:21:45] Trustee Elliott: are they generally on zoom or in person i believe the

[0:21:49] Voice 3: last meeting was the first one they'd had in person since before uh that that meeting was

[0:21:54] Voice 3: not also like telecast or anything so it was just a an in-person meeting yeah

[0:21:58] Trustee Luckham: yeah my experience is

[0:22:00] Trustee Luckham: in person and i think there's a preference for that they

[0:22:03] Voice 3: do actually rotate um locations so it

[0:22:07] Voice 3: gets a bit complex i think in terms of just easier to meet in person that said most of them are in

[0:22:12] Voice 3: the in the mid-island you know um in the biosphere region of course

[0:22:16] Trustee Elliott: i'd be interested in being on it

[0:22:19] Trustee Elliott: it's it's just i i feel i i just don't have the capacity for it and i seem to be failing some of

[0:22:25] Trustee Elliott: of my other responsibilities so um maybe this is something that i could undertake maybe next year

[0:22:32] Trustee Elliott: i don't know peter or tim are you interested i

[0:22:36] Trustee Luckham: would put my name forward if nobody else

[0:22:39] Trustee Luckham: has any objections to that um because i too have a great passion and interest in biosphere generally

[0:22:47] Trustee Luckham: i i think you maybe all know i actually think the islands trust could be its own biosphere

[0:22:52] Trustee Luckham: and certainly have been supportive of the Howe Sound Biosphere

[0:22:55] Trustee Luckham: and are familiar with those folks as well.

[0:22:59] Trustee Luckham: So it's up to the LTC what you'd like to do.

[0:23:03] Trustee Luckham: And a second would be fantastic.

[0:23:06] Trustee Luckham: And if, Tim, you're geographically better situated than Trustee Maud is,

[0:23:10] Trustee Luckham: we'll recognize that for sure.

[0:23:13] Trustee Luckham: So if that's what we anticipate, Trustee Maud,

[0:23:18] Trustee Luckham: do you want to make a motion?

[0:23:18] Trustee Luckham: motion Tim's

[0:23:21] Trustee Elliott: got his hand up I don't know if that's oh

[0:23:23] Trustee Luckham: yeah sorry Tim I

[0:23:25] Voice 7: just wanted to check

[0:23:26] Voice 7: back in with Trustee Elliott um it sounds uh as though uh uh Trustee Luckham Chair Luckham in this

[0:23:34] Voice 7: case is is willing and perhaps uh feeling more able but I'm just wondering if Trustee Elliott

[0:23:40] Voice 7: wants to be the alternate at this point uh if not I'm happy to be happy to be the alternate

[0:23:46] Voice 7: it um and then in terms of uh checking back in with trustee elliott uh after a certain time i

[0:23:56] Voice 7: just wonder how that would how we would step

[0:24:00] Voice 9: that up mr chair go ahead chris

[0:24:08] Voice 3: um i would say that it

[0:24:10] Voice 3: really is a pltc however i would consider the importance of building relationships um in terms

[0:24:15] Voice 3: of uh the length of appointment um it's good to have these for the term uh if if but certainly

[0:24:21] Voice 3: not required to at the discretion of the the ltc

[0:24:25] Trustee Luckham: of course um yeah so let's name somebody as a

[0:24:30] Trustee Luckham: primary yeah

[0:24:31] Trustee Elliott: i'm i'm happy for you to to take it on peter it's not it's it is interesting to

[0:24:36] Trustee Elliott: me i just can't do more at the moment yeah

[0:24:39] Trustee Luckham: i can certainly understand that

[0:24:42] Trustee Luckham: Okay, so back

[0:24:45] Trustee Maude: to Trustee Maude then.

[0:24:46] Trustee Maude: So the motion will just be as a primary appointment,

[0:24:50] Trustee Maude: not with no alternative.

[0:24:52] Trustee Maude: So I'm hearing it.

[0:24:54] Trustee Maude: Yeah.

[0:24:55] Trustee Maude: Yeah, so I would move that the executive committee

[0:24:58] Trustee Maude: acting as local trust committee appoint Chair Leckham

[0:25:01] Trustee Maude: as representative for the Mount Aerosmith

[0:25:03] Trustee Maude: biosphere regional round table.

[0:25:06] Trustee Maude: I

[0:25:07] Trustee Luckham: have a seconder, Trustee Peterson, thank you.

[0:25:10] Trustee Luckham: Any other discussion or concerns?

[0:25:12] Trustee Luckham: All those in favor?

[0:25:15] Trustee Luckham: that carries thank you very much for um your generosity okay let us move oh so is there

[0:25:24] Trustee Luckham: anything further with the mount arismith biosphere region you wanted to have some reports i would

[0:25:30] Trustee Luckham: take that request to them but i think probably that could happen earlier and then we could

[0:25:34] Trustee Luckham: by just by email um and perhaps even i could do that as the newly appointed representative

[0:25:42] Trustee Luckham: and start that conversation and then bring that forward.

[0:25:46] Trustee Luckham: So why don't I put that on my own follow-up action list?

[0:25:49] Trustee Luckham: I may lean on you, Chris, for the contact information

[0:25:52] Trustee Luckham: for Graham, if that's the body or the chair of the committee

[0:25:57] Trustee Luckham: or whomever might be responsible for that sort of thing.

[0:26:03] Trustee Luckham: So I'm just writing this down, Mount Arrowsmith request.

[0:26:10] Trustee Luckham: And it's two reports that are noted in the minutes, correct?

[0:26:15] Trustee Luckham: the trustee elliott miss

[0:26:19] Trustee Elliott: i missed your last comment uh

[0:26:21] Trustee Luckham: the two reports that are noted

[0:26:22] Trustee Luckham: noted in the minutes

[0:26:24] Trustee Elliott: it's just to explore the interest of of doing a presentation to

[0:26:31] Trustee Elliott: the conservancy especially around indigenous knowledge um those two piqued my interest but

[0:26:37] Trustee Elliott: they may be interested in tailoring it for

[0:26:40] Trustee Luckham: presentation to itc no i think that's a really

[0:26:46] Trustee Luckham: And

[0:26:46] Trustee Elliott: we could loop in Chair Risa or Chair Smith at that point, and perhaps she'd be interested in exploring

[0:26:55] Trustee Luckham: that as well.

[0:26:57] Trustee Elliott: Thank you.

[0:26:58] Trustee Luckham: I kind of got that on my follow-up election list.

[0:27:00] Trustee Luckham: I might reach out to you offline just to be sure that the request is fitting.

[0:27:07] Trustee Luckham: Anything else from anybody on Mount Arrowsmith?

[0:27:10] Trustee Luckham: Okay, that's great.

[0:27:12] Trustee Luckham: Right. So this brings us to, you know, it's interesting. This is a template agenda that

[0:27:20] Trustee Luckham: we use here. And the trustee reports and chairs reports essentially are normally activities that

[0:27:25] Trustee Luckham: we've conducted in our LTCs. And so I'm just going to ask, does anybody have any remarks

[0:27:31] Trustee Luckham: associated with any activities? No. Okay. I'm just trying to think that through. I didn't run

[0:27:38] Trustee Luckham: run into anybody at UBCM that was Mabry, but I did run in, I believe I ran into the director,

[0:27:48] Trustee Luckham: area director, which is later on in our agenda. But so nothing from anybody. I certainly don't

[0:27:54] Trustee Luckham: have anything to report. So the Trust Conservancy report now of July 23rd. Certainly we had a

[0:28:05] Trustee Luckham: a lovely presentation from Risa Smith at our council meeting, but there's been a meeting

[0:28:13] Trustee Luckham: since, so Trustee Elliott, I'll turn it over to you to provide some additional information.

[0:28:18] Trustee Elliott: Thank you, Chair. You have a report from July 18th, and I would say the only items that

[0:28:27] Trustee Elliott: I could add to is the ITC board executive committee meeting to explore

[0:28:37] Trustee Elliott: the further items on our joint meeting agenda that we didn't get to we discussed

[0:28:42] Trustee Elliott: that and we'll have sort of a decision coming back to EC to and sort of a

[0:28:49] Trustee Elliott: priority list of items so again that's executive committee then probably could

[0:28:53] Trustee Elliott: could discuss that at our next meeting uh it was our first meeting in person i think in about a

[0:29:00] Trustee Elliott: year and uh charles khan the new ministerial um appointee joined us for the first time

[0:29:07] Trustee Elliott: and yeah altogether oh and our budget we have a draft budget to forward to financial planning

[0:29:15] Trustee Elliott: committee and i think that's about it i think the climate change area um this is where we're going

[0:29:25] Trustee Elliott: to be looking outside for potentially some grant funding and this could be a really rich area for

[0:29:31] Trustee Elliott: the islands trust council and the conservancy to work on together projects um related to mitigating

[0:29:38] Trustee Elliott: and adapting to climate change in the trust area.

[0:29:43] Trustee Elliott: So we haven't really moved into that discussion yet,

[0:29:46] Trustee Elliott: but it's certainly an area that keeps getting flagged

[0:29:48] Trustee Elliott: as we need to do some work on this.

[0:29:51] Trustee Elliott: And that's about it.

[0:29:57] Voice 9: Okay, great. Thank you.

[0:30:00] Voice 9: Any questions?

[0:30:05] Trustee Luckham: Okay, Regional Director Nanaimo, Electoral Area Director, update. We didn't receive

[0:30:11] Trustee Luckham: anything there and certainly Bob has attended a number of meetings in the past and perhaps he'll

[0:30:19] Trustee Luckham: join us at a future occasion. Next item on our agenda is not an Osteros Nation representative

[0:30:26] Trustee Luckham: report. This is just a standing item on our agenda in the event that there's something to come from

[0:30:32] Trustee Luckham: the nation and as Rob pointed out earlier both of these parties are advised of the meeting and

[0:30:39] Trustee Luckham: look forward as time goes on to having that representation as you all know that protocol

[0:30:45] Trustee Luckham: agreement with them is still to come back from the minister and potentially there'll be a first

[0:30:50] Trustee Luckham: meeting that will be conducted and certainly looking forward to those conversations so

[0:30:56] Trustee Luckham: So if there's no questions, we'll move on.

[0:30:59] Trustee Luckham: Application reports, nothing.

[0:31:00] Trustee Luckham: Trustee and local expenses reports.

[0:31:03] Trustee Luckham: You can see that we have a very small budget

[0:31:06] Trustee Luckham: and we haven't spent any money.

[0:31:08] Trustee Luckham: So that's all good.

[0:31:09] Trustee Luckham: So if there's no questions there,

[0:31:11] Trustee Luckham: I'll move on to adopted policies

[0:31:14] Trustee Luckham: and standing resolutions there for information.

[0:31:17] Trustee Luckham: You know, it's just website there for information

[0:31:19] Trustee Luckham: unless there's anything we feel needs to be changed.

[0:31:22] Trustee Luckham: I don't know of anything that needs to change.

[0:31:25] Trustee Luckham: we're good all right so this brings us to our work program active projects uh nothing ongoing

[0:31:31] Trustee Luckham: at the moment we have our future projects list for information um certainly last meeting we had

[0:31:37] Trustee Luckham: conversations about ocplub review and the necessity to engage with synonymous first nation

[0:31:42] Trustee Luckham: and with respect to any of that sort of work so ideally that will come to pass but chris perhaps

[0:31:50] Trustee Luckham: perhaps you might advise us at this juncture we haven't identified any funding for project

[0:31:56] Trustee Luckham: related activities presumably there is some funding associated with the LTC that if we

[0:32:02] Trustee Luckham: wanted to do some work minor work somewhere that we could access some communications or

[0:32:09] Trustee Luckham: some sort of funding associated with very minor work but

[0:32:14] Voice 3: certainly possible Mr. Chair if there

[0:32:16] Voice 3: There was a desire to do some, if certainly a minor project, maybe a possibility, likely some budget for that in probably not in this fiscal, but in the following.

[0:32:27] Voice 3: So if, because we only have two a year, if there was a desire to explore that, I would suggest that this would be the time to ask staff to prepare an outline of what that might look like in order to prepare a business case for about a year from now.

[0:32:46] Voice 3: be kind of the the process yeah

[0:32:51] Trustee Luckham: but for you right now we're in the 20 24 25 budget preparation

[0:33:00] Trustee Luckham: so you're talking about 25 26 yeah so i don't yeah so i would suggest we just uh received

[0:33:11] Trustee Luckham: that formation at this time anything from anybody uh tim peterson

[0:33:18] Trustee Luckham: um

[0:33:20] Voice 7: the only work i could see uh

[0:33:24] Voice 7: wanting to put some energy into is the is the um engagement with first nations

[0:33:33] Voice 7: uh around a possible project i i don't see that that we're in a space to define a project at this

[0:33:41] Voice 7: point but if there was some possibility to do some of that outreach in terms of potential ocp

[0:33:50] Voice 7: leb amendments or or the other things on the list there that would be the only thing i would

[0:33:54] Voice 7: i would think would be uh worthy of of uh advancing yeah

[0:34:00] Trustee Luckham: any remarks on that uh rpm hutton

[0:34:05] Voice 3: um mr chair given there's a low amount of development or change that happens in the

[0:34:10] Voice 3: the Bolinas-Winchelsea, even what the OCP and the UNMSA right now don't have a terrible

[0:34:16] Voice 3: amount of impact on land or water. I say that out of a general statement, and I certainly

[0:34:25] Voice 3: don't mean to preclude any voice around that in terms of if there's a differing view. However,

[0:34:32] Voice 3: like I said, just given the amount of development work that goes on in the islands, I don't

[0:34:38] Voice 3: think that our pilot particularly facilitate mass change that would be enough to impact many people

[0:34:47] Voice 3: the one uh thing i would also comment on is that the as noted in the the mount tarismith report um

[0:34:55] Voice 3: there is a lot of work going on at that level and opportunities to piggyback or build off of that

[0:35:01] Voice 3: work may be the most strategically advantageous for this area so if there's if there's a project

[0:35:07] Voice 3: to be identified it may be out of that group or the connections made through that group

[0:35:12] Voice 3: again with other local governments uh first nations and um

[0:35:16] Voice 9: in the school district yep

[0:35:21] Voice 9: okay so we'll just um move

[0:35:24] Trustee Luckham: on if that's all right and so our next uh no closed meeting our next

[0:35:30] Trustee Luckham: meeting will be determined by uh rwm um was just making a query of lori about our our calendars

[0:35:37] Trustee Luckham: look very blank for 2024 and that is coming up very quickly as i start to plan for events in

[0:35:45] Trustee Luckham: next year so uh obviously that'll come about in uh in the relatively near future so unless there's

[0:35:53] Trustee Luckham: any questions or i think that concludes our meeting today imagine that that's uh um 40 minutes

[0:36:03] Trustee Luckham: okay so um i will see you all today again other than chris at our ec meeting at 12 30 today

[0:36:11] Trustee Luckham: also online and looking forward to that discussion so i want to thank you chris for joining us and

[0:36:17] Trustee Luckham: thank you ltc trustees and of course rob pringle and sarah sugar for the background and welcome
