In their own words

The most substantial lines attributed to Peter Grove in the transcripts, grouped by meeting; each timestamp plays the Trust's recording from that second.

  1. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, February 16, 2021 2021-02-16

    • [3:32:47] “I move that the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee direct staff to draft amendments to the Salt Spring Island land use bylaw number 355 to permit the following additional uses, colon, A, indoor retail sales, B, indoor production of food and drink items, clothing, crafts, artwork, jewelry, and similar items for retail or wholesale sales, provided there is a retail outlet on the premises, and provided water consumption does not exceed 1,600 liters a day.”

  2. Islands Trust Financial Planning Committee regular meeting, January 20, 2021 2021-01-20

    • [0:26:37] “Well, if I may respond to that, cash balances, of course, are going to fluctuate as we know they do. So there needs to be a point in time as to when we measure this balance. Seems to me that the logical times for that measurement would be at our year end, March the 31st. So I look at that history and I think to myself, you know, we're right on the target, on the mark.”
    • [1:04:06] “I find that if I have the participants and the voting hands going up, it removes so much of my screen space, and I have greater value in being able to look at each and every one of you to see what you're doing and how you're reacting.”
    • [0:25:56] “That makes sense to me. And if that is the case, if we turn to page 30, which has the approved budget history, and we look at the surplus funds, I don't see that surplus funds exceeding the three months requirement over the years.”

  3. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee special meeting, February 15, 2022 2022-02-15

    • [4:48:32] “But we have got a game changer. We have First Nations request for consultation before we go any further. I see no option but to accede to that. So I'm going to move that the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee refer files SSDBP 2021.24 to First Nations with treaty and territorial interests on Salt Spring Island with a request to comment on the proposed variance permit.”
    • [1:21:57] “I point out, and I've pointed this out over and over again to members of the community, that this is a first reading. The purpose of a first reading, and if I'm wrong, I'd like Louisa Garbo to correct me, is to get an idea, a motion on the table for discussion by the community, for discussion and input from other agencies.”

  4. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, March 23, 2021 2021-03-23

    • [1:24:12] “And the other serious loss is street parking. When this plan was originally put forward, I certainly made an issue about the fact that there was going to be seven parking lots on the street, which my argument was, although staff discounted it saying we can't count street parking, nevertheless, from the overall Ganges point of view,”
    • [1:25:01] “a pedestrian pathway. Somehow in terms of if this is going to be reorganized, we need a pathway which is much more clearly designated as a pathway and more protective of pedestrians. I don't know what that would look like, but it's a bit of a lost opportunity, I think. Thank you.”

  5. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, January 18, 2022 2022-01-18

    • [2:41:04] “The other very interesting thing that happened in the news just a couple of days ago was this councillor in Vancouver who asked a staff member to do some looking into the budget in terms of dealing with those issues which are, if you like, downloaded from senior government, including the province and the federal government.”
    • [2:14:22] “Indeed. And, you know, it is unbelievable but here, here we go again who would have thought we were going to be back with these electronic meetings which I certainly did tests and I suspect most people do that we're doing our best, and that's all we can do.”
    • [4:14:26] “don't think I've got anything more to say I really think we need to move on with this and I can't see, I can't see the asking the applicant to knock the building down which would be the end of the decision, if we went the other way so.”

  6. Islands Trust Financial Planning Committee community information meeting, November 10, 2021 2021-11-10

    • [2:00:00] “So, it's up to all of us, I would, I would, I mean if I would vote against all of these, if you want to be quite frankly right now, get us through the year and into the next year I realized that's unrealistic and it's going to cause some angst, and in this group”
    • [1:59:11] “I grew up with believing that you shouldn't spend more than you have or that you can afford, and this budget is simply not affordable in my view, and I have a real problem with it.”
    • [2:00:17] “and the trust council as a whole, but we simply can't do it, and I'm not prepared to to support a nine and a half percent budget, so we need to see some cuts, trustee Brent.”

  7. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, January 19, 2021 2021-01-19

    • [0:05:32] “then, Chair, if I may, suggestion that I think we've had as much input as we could possibly ask for or dream for with regard to Francis Bread, and I am concerned that we may very well in the town hall have a lot of people worrying about it and wanting to speak.”
    • [2:22:53] “I just want to make sure that we don't spend that money with the LTC's approval. So we need to ask Trust Council to, I mean, I hate the word amend the budget, to include in the draft budget rather than amend the possible allocation of up to, or words to that effect.”

  8. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, August 9, 2022 2022-08-09

    • [7:32:34] “3. Prior to permit issuance and within 60 days of this resolution, the applicant must submit to the SSLTC approval a revised landscaping plan consistent with Sections E24 and E28 of Development Permit Area 2 to replace Schedule No. 4 in Development Permit SSDP 2018.14 and reflecting the relocated sewage disposal field.” (probable)
    • [2:21:09] “And the vortex development application, and I think you're going to find that there's some good news that on that front with a new application, excuse me, which I think will meet some of the concerns that many of us have or have had.” (probable)
    • [7:11:08] “Semicolon, bullet. Daily discharge flow from the system. Semicolon, bullet. Treatment system performance measuring effluent quality objectives. Semicolon, bullet. Environmental performance of its receiving environment in accordance with performance standards in Schedule No. 8, paragraph 3.9.3.” (probable)

  9. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee special meeting, October 22, 2021 2021-10-22

    • [1:50:24] “And I'd like to know what those are. Ruth, your idea of a workshop, I think, is excellent, and I gather that's been budgeted for. And yes, indeed, education is essential, and more of it is essential. But by the way, you're only talking to those who want to be educated.”

  10. Islands Trust Conservancy Board regular meeting, January 27, 2022 2022-01-27

    • [1:48:04] “May I just chime in? It has been said already before this evening, but having 13 official community plans is a huge undertaking, and they have to be maintained, they have to be rewritten, and take a great deal of time. Most municipalities would have one official community plan.”

  11. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, July 12, 2022 2022-07-12

    • [1:00:00] “This isn't my parting speech, I assure you, but I do want you to know that I will be endorsing you wholeheartedly because I want to see you back in this saddle for this island where I think you can do a great deal of good.”

  12. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, June 29, 2021 2021-06-29

    • [4:23:18] “So I'll move that the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee requests that the applicant submit to the Local Trust Committee a pedestrian circulation plan consistent with official community plan policy E145 that clearly delineates a pedestrian walkway on the entire perimeter of the subject property.”
    • [5:20:27] “So, I mean, I don't really have a problem with this. Having said that, it would be nice to receive some sort of amenity for it. And under recommendation number four, there's no direct amenity that I can see.”
    • [2:18:28] “Trust Council took place, of course, from June the 8th to the 10th, and that was useful, although, again, I find it very frustrating trying to communicate with my fellow trustees by way of Zoom.”

  13. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, April 27, 2021 2021-04-27

    • [0:14:07] “comment rather than a question, which is with regard to the Drake Road report on SSR Z20 13.9. I understand that they have received their water license which is a huge step and there's still a long way to go, but it's certainly a big plus.”
    • [3:37:11] “So there may not be specific properties that are available to you, but there are lands that can be used, which have to be developed, presumably, with all that that would entail.”

  14. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, January 22, 2021 2021-01-22

    • [0:54:18] “These are really irritating little changes, Laura, and I could agree with you more, but I have been burned so many times and I know it's not a bylaw, but it's a statement that we are making together and we”

  15. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, October 20, 2021 2021-10-20

    • [0:03:13] “Gareth J. 6.1 point one I just refer you to an email I sent to you all day or two ago, so you may have some idea of my thoughts where we're headed and how I would like to.”
    • [2:45:53] “trustee Patrick seconded it before you did so good late late so sounds to me as if you've spoken to that motion trustee Roger. So may I call the question, all those in favor raise your electronic hands.”
    • [1:49:03] “And I suggest that we do that after we have a brief lunch break, together with a general discussion as to what we're going to do and what we're going to ask staff to do.”

  16. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee special meeting, August 31, 2021 2021-08-31

    • [2:44:02] “I was actually giving my fellow trustee an opportunity to speak. I think as a matter of courtesy, yes, I would like LTC to request from JISRA a report on rents currently being charged relating to Meadowbrook, period.”
    • [2:20:17] “And I think to some degree, we may have a bit of an inflated view on just what we can do, although certainly there are things that can be done to make things better.”

  17. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, June 1, 2022 2022-06-01

    • [1:05:59] “you. I mean, I feel this was a very useful conversation. I don't see any motions coming out of it. Does anybody have anything in particular they want to promote? I've got Tim Peterson on the line.”

  18. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee public hearing, September 6, 2022 2022-09-06

    • [2:48:53] “This is territory I haven't crossed in my 11 years as a trustee and I'm not sure just what role trust can play in this regard, if indeed the developer isn't following the development permit requirements.” (probable)

  19. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, July 15, 2021 2021-07-15

    • [1:43:22] “But if this committee officially forms a subcommittee, which is what I think is being suggested, then I think you've got a problem because it's now an official body and we'll have to follow the rules.”

  20. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, May 25, 2021 2021-05-25

    • [1:00:35] “But I'd like to ensure that we're agreeing on this item that's before us right now, which is 1, 2, 3, 4, and proceed, I believe, with the option 2, which makes good sense to me.”

  21. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, August 31, 2022 2022-08-31

    • [0:07:17] “to the quarterly financial report. Another request for decision. And it's pages 23 to 29. And the request for the decision is that we forward this to Trust Council. Over to you, Wanda.”

  22. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, June 8, 2021 2021-06-08

    • [0:40:06] “Fairy Creek, many of us from this island are standing in solidarity with those who are protesting the logging of old forests and hoping that some kind of accommodation can be reached there.”

  23. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, February 16, 2022 2022-02-16

    • [3:35:24] “So, can we just defer this until we've all got more room in our brains? Thank you. Everyone agreed with that? Thank you. Let us move on then. Nine, any new business?”
