   • [2:51:01] “But a question that I've been asked a number of times by constituents and I've been wondering about is when you're reviewing the management, the property management strategy, if you're taking into account the ways in which we might change the conservancy's practices for managing forest properties.”

   • [1:48:20] “Just to flag it, because I know some of the First Nations offices get inundated with referrals, and this seems to be one that should be.”

   • [0:50:43] “And as we manage our projects on Pender, I think about the challenges we're having in defining a project that's going to take a reasonable amount of time to then do the next logical thing for our community when the environment and the people that live in it are holistically not divided into projects in that way.”
   • [2:47:45] “move that trust council adopt the following locations for its 2024 meetings. March 12th to 14th in Nanaimo, June 18th to 20th in Salt Spring, September 24th to 26th on an island to be determined, December 20th to 24th in Victoria,”
   • [1:46:32] “In terms of specifics of things that I would want to be in different boxes than they currently are, I guess I think about communications and advocacy really differently than a siloed box separate from anything else.”

   • [2:01:51] “And my intent with creating, you know, understanding and knowledge around that is not necessarily that it turns into regulation, but that it allows us to make better informed decisions on the applications that we see, that we have more information to make those decisions.”
   • [1:00:31] “No, I think that would be helpful, David, and I think if if if Warren can come to us with the bylaw enforcement plan around this that is takes into account before any additional enforcement to just like think about what the appropriate step is and we can talk with Mr.”
   • [0:12:08] “I just wanted to really stress the communication, and I think we've done this through official channels, but just stress the communication to Paul that we'd really love to have him virtually or in person at the meeting in, is it, sorry, is it June 25th or 24th, 26th?”

   • [1:04:22] “So, and Kim, if we can make sure that anything on the maps that is like the potential industrial designations like that OCP that when we go to the February 25th meeting, that we're really clear that those are only the lowland areas of those properties, not the full properties, because that's confusing community members too.”
   • [0:47:06] “We can, because this is not past, we and, you know, like, we can by vote of the three of us decide to open these up and, you know, to make the best decision for community, there are things that I think we need to consider potentially opening them up for.”
   • [1:34:22] “But it would be great to somehow have that question brought up when we talk about house sizes, to just have people consider, like, you know, is there appetite for dispersing our square footage for our residential properties?”

   • [3:40:23] “That helps us as a communication tool when we go out to our communities to be able to say, clearly, here are the different projects, here is the unpacking of staff costs across these projects, so that it is not a black box and it's really clear to people what they're getting for what work they're doing.”
   • [3:40:08] “I can see clearly that costs X amount. I have assigned amounts that are for consultants, and I can see clearly that in total, the groundwater mapping project costs X, some in staff resources, some in these discretionary funds.”
   • [3:40:58] “And it's our responsibility to say, you know, if these projects are not what we need, and we need other work, then we pull staff off these projects, the discretionary funding goes away, and they do other things.”

    2022-10-27 · 683 lines

    • [3:03:40] “Okay. One of the concerns I think I have about that is just that the meeting schedule and the conversation about like whether those meetings are regular meetings or whether they're like community information meetings also influences when they're potentially scheduled because a big problem in our community is that, you know, Saturday meetings are potentially better for community confirmation meetings.”
    • [2:41:59] “So the issue, Trustee Fast, is that somebody who did the original mapping for nesting sites across the island went and did an update of it, and we can't pay them because it wasn't a project of the local trust committee.”
    • [1:59:30] “And this may inform those changes so because I, you know, as we move forward, knowing clearly how that language is interpreted, or having like, you know, even if it confirms that that's the interpretation will help us.”

    2022-08-26 · 1160 lines

    • [1:47:17] “And I think the one addition I would make is it does actually seem like, given the correspondence we just received, that we can proactively say that if you didn't include something in that amendment that is in our directive policies, we actually can ask you to include it.”
    • [1:03:33] “Because, you know, we're making recommendations today to trust council about what to do about the trust policy statement. And so the item we might need to add to the fuel is, you know, follow up, you know, this, and we have to generally like do things to staff.”
    • [1:44:13] “And then, like, if others want to respond to this, too, I think it's important to do this. So what we consider to be put in the directive versus the recommended policies has to do not with, well, it has to do with what we legally have roots for.”

    2022-05-13 · 373 lines

    • [0:14:54] “Sorry, Paul, if I can ask a clarification. Are you saying that the local trust community meetings themselves should be more of the moment when we're having the conversation with our community than the sort of an event with the trust, like the meetings that they've had? Is that what you're saying?”
    • [0:05:35] “We are working from home and as a result most of us are working from home and as a result, really understand that, you know, these are our personal spaces so try to monitor yours and respect that our staff here are also working from home, but it is a staff”
    • [0:21:21] “We've been talking about the both our own land use bylaw review work they've been doing here, which is very much in line, I think, with some of the things in the trust policy statement review and also the trust policy statement review itself.”

    • [7:58:33] “So my suggestion would be that if Trustee Bren's version is what we want to try and work from, is to have something to work from, that we get it on the table before we go for a break.”
    • [7:58:46] “And then we break for dinner. People can go read it, think about it, go have dinner, and then we come back and resume.”

    • [0:54:18] “right. So I don't actually have any concerns about this. I think that it's okay. And understanding too, which is always a challenge with these DP zones, that DP zones are really made to have us take a closer look at any one area and understand what the combination of circumstances are for any one area.”
    • [0:54:38] “So in this area I don't have any problems with approving this permit because I think the geotechnical person like really clearly named anything and covered it, and the, you're not cutting more trees you're not just like disturbing something that radically.”
    • [2:06:40] “So, yeah, so I'm not actually a big fan of generally like clustered apartment housing on Pender because I worry about how that impacts the sort of rural character of the region.”

    • [1:40:12] “And from that perspective, we as a trust council think it's important for us to be able to hear and understand what our communities want to see in that, and also for us to understand what are our obligations related to reconciliation, what are our obligations related to the mandate and the object of the trust.”
    • [0:01:34] “I also want to acknowledge that today, that this meeting is a workplace for our staff and our trustees, and that as a result, we will have respectful conversation in this space and really look forward to hearing and engaging with all the trustees and those who have comments in the town hall.”
    • [0:06:31] “Thank you all for being here and making the time. And technology is all working. Wonderful. So we will go ahead and have a look at our agenda for today.

    • [2:41:55] “So I think having the two different residential areas is going to be helpful between Magic Lake and other residential zones, because it could be that, you know, houses and even just acreage, though, the way that we're thinking about doing it, of having different acreage sizes and scales will help with that a little bit.”
    • [1:18:43] “So, okay. And then setbacks to like setbacks related. I think we've already talked about that at the beginning of the meeting. Setbacks in Magic Lake being somewhat different as a just problem historically, the way lots are in this area being different than they might be on the rest of the island.”
    • [1:50:33] “I do really like that idea, and Ben has mentioned this earlier too, that, you know, without having a giant additional process, I do think that things that affect the community, such as increased density of docks on the island, are something that we should have community put into.”

    2022-01-27 · 615 lines

    • [1:34:34] “Okay, so from my perspective, the Islands Trust Act requires us and just, you know, being a good community citizen requires us to ensure that there's basic environmental safety, right, and health, water, sewage, those are basic things.”
    • [1:34:50] “So, and then we continue to keep this in place until we have some resolution around a housing situation here in the islands, and that gives us a little more security and permanency.”
    • [3:19:25] “Yeah, I understand that. And so I know that we probably have to create some kind of guidelines to make sure we understand that and there's some fair process for it.”

    • [1:12:09] “to communicate that somehow quite clearly that it's not actually given that the conversation that happens in March will be in camera, because there has to be some very specific reason for it to be in camera, otherwise it's part of the public agenda.”
    • [1:12:25] “So, and I think that needs to be communicated because I don't even from the speakers today I don't feel that that's clearly understood.”
    • [0:06:38] “defend myself which is fascinating because i don't actually often feel the need to do that so i almost”

    • [0:07:57] “But what I think we are finding ourselves in is we're finding ourselves in a situation where it's difficult to pass things because there's a very vocal minority across the trust area that's like, you know, stirred things up in particular ways and has caused something of a pause, a six month delay, I would name, in our ability to move forward on the policy statement.”
    • [0:08:17] “And so trust programs committee hasn't had input into that really for about six months now. And the statement as it was presented in sort of May, June, July, that was the staff's first draft of the statement and it was excellent.”
    • [0:37:25] “And so, or however long it ends up being. So that's one thing. The other thing would be, I don't know that I think it's staff's responsibility to synthesize the feedback that we're getting in correspondence.”

    • [3:49:58] “So, this is great. Thank you very much for the work on this. The question that I have around the, it'll come up with the hybrid versus in-person is, is there anything in the September meeting that we need? Like, is there, when do we do staff recognition, for example? Like, those meetings should be in-person, and I just wanted to know where they sit in the flow, or can they be adjusted to where we do the in-person meetings?”
    • [1:25:57] “Like, there's no need for Janine to learn about the trust, right? And many of us who are, you know, in the know about it, but new trustees who are elected into the trust need some professional learning support. And it would be great to have that before the first trust council. So things like elections and processes and things like that are clear as we enter the first trust programs, our trust meeting.”
    • [1:21:02] “So I don't know if I need to put a motion on the table for that or if I can just make that as a friendly”

    • [1:18:00] “But even so, I don't think it should be mini excavator you either do a shallow like just go right over top of it and don't excavate and just fill up top with gravel, or you hand excavate around the tree, or whatever other alternative they're suggesting.”
    • [0:24:49] “So a couple things about that. First of all, draft bylaw number 183 is just that it's draft it hasn't been read into first reading yet. So there are a lot of things that may be altered and and addressed in that to clarify things.”
    • [2:57:30] “would go. Yeah, I would go because what you just said Ben makes me think that it should be like just period, and then we can revoke it if we decide not to do it, so that they know that we have the long term vision invested.”

    • [0:47:53] “Because like there's, I actually have a day job and like the work and travel that I'm like struggling with this fall, I just need to make sure that I really want to hear the AAPC, like comments and things and when do we need to get feedback into your process to do that.”
    • [1:55:05] “Yeah. Okay, well we'll just see, we'll see how it unfolds, but it, you know, it would be good to try and, you know, see what we can do. I think we have a little bit of wiggle room, but we're losing it.”
    • [0:19:07] “So the Islands Trust actually. So the local government part of our mandate here in our local trust committee is about working for our communities.”

    • [7:31:04] “So one of the things I think in doing this as a functional aspect with staff is actually for staff to be CC trustees or in some ways so that there's just no option to reply all would be what I would like to see.”
    • [0:11:19] “And in relation to the trust policy statement, which we'll get into a little bit more, for fielding the plethora of comments and feedback that have been coming in and that will keep coming in.”

    • [1:25:33] “So I think we also have to think about the structure of the trust policy statement in the context of how do we vote on things? Because like there's, I don't want us to necessarily not vote for the trust policy statement because I have my issue on salinity and Michael has his issue on docs and whoever has, you know, like, I don't want us to vote down an entire trust policy statement because we can't agree on one clause and it's a different clause for each of us.”
    • [1:25:09] “And are we okay with that? And honestly, I feel like that is down to like a vote of different things, like where we actually say that things are really important as a trust council across the whole area, then we keep them in. And it may be that a couple islands don't agree with it, but that as a whole, we see it as a whole trust area issue. And that's for us to vote on individually, I kind of feel like.”
    • [0:57:15] “The question I had related to the doc piece and how it connects to the trust policy statement was really around who in who who on our staff is like in conversations with Flynn row and just understanding, I guess, maybe understanding like where this order may fit in with our thinking.”

    • [0:57:16] “So like actually allowing in many ways less housing and construction if we don't put that kind of restriction on it. So allowing a primary use. Can you talk a little bit about like, I know amendments to the OCP or I thought amendments to the OCP were outside the scope of this work, but things like this where we have like one little thing, is that really problematic or can we just do that?”
    • [0:58:58] “the number one concern that I can imagine and why separating these into two zones actually solves that problem a little bit is that neighbors who are close, like in lots where they're smaller and there might be proximity,”
    • [1:20:18] “I think that just shifted in the last year. So that would be one thing. The other thing is that that water storage for fire be a requirement because increased people, especially off island people, increased fire risk.”

    • [2:20:30] “so my question is whether folks would like me to put on on table so we can just clear the air about timing of the first reading or not so that we can get on with amendments, or whether we actually deal with amendments first and then talk timing and process.”
    • [3:08:12] “And so I am not for first reading because I think it does cause problematic issues with community where we will no longer have real authentic feedback on the actual content and structure of the statement.”
    • [4:15:39] “Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, I didn't. That to me is a slightly different intent to the motion, but I agree that trustees should provide feedback too. Hopefully you're all doing that anyway.”

    • [3:06:42] “And so I would like to see some changes in that. But it's good to know what those changes might look like going forward based on the best feedback. And so I'm happy that that review is going forward. And, you know, it is taking a bit longer than expected. So it's, you know, we'll see what we can do with that.”
    • [2:38:42] “Okay. And so for the C2 related properties, I know that I saw from your emails, Kim, that there was a number of different folks that we still had to reach out to, right? Or one, at least, that we're still reaching out to and hadn't got in contact with. And I wanted to just thank the”
    • [3:07:01] “But I'm hoping that it actually suggests some ways forward that might be more streamlined and potentially much more, you know, appropriate for UNDRIP or for DRIPA, like with First Nations involvement in the trust.”

    • [1:57:02] “Yeah. And again, I think another thing to consider here in this space, because we haven't had a lot of time with the document, is this conversation is helping us lift particular things that might be of concern that we can bring into very specific recommendations that you've run by staff or thought about together, now in the July 8th meeting as well.”
    • [0:05:38] “I also want to add that this is a place of employment and public gathering despite the fact that many trustees, staff and others are in their homes, everyone has a right to a safe and respectful workplace and that will be deeply respected.”

    • [0:21:25] “That's great, because it would be great in some ways to have folks like, and correct me if I'm wrong, I think, Peter, but the Gulf Island Alliance, like somebody from there seems like a logical stakeholder for feedback on, you know, as a sort of critical friend of the trust.”
    • [1:41:22] “one last thought on that is, it would, to what Heder just said, it would be really helpful to have advice on, you know, the current trust policy statement review process is fairly extensive because of how long it's been since it was revised.”

    • [3:43:47] “Yeah, I think the one question we're going to have to resolve, though, as part of the land use bylaw work is like our situations and how do we specify it in land use bylaws of situations where buildings can be built that are not residence buildings on a property before there's a residence or maybe if there was never to be a residence.”

So I'm going to just clarify one thing, and then I would actually like to ask one universal question before we continue, if that's possible, just about whether we're going to actually keep in funding or go out of funding, because I think we need to establish that before we go much further here so that we can actually make some decisions.”
    • [0:56:35] “no, Delaney explained that to us. So thank you for that. And sorry for the technical challenges. Just as an amusing thing while we're waiting a couple more minutes to start officially here. Just so you know, Trustee Kirsten, my partner is a fairly serious, heavy duty IT person who's in a special area of IT. He's retired now, but he was.”

    • [2:07:09] “And I think the way you're running it is awesome. So, you know, I would kind of like to just approve this one and think it through a little more deeply as we go forward for the STVR application sort of issue, because we're essentially telling people they can't do this in the future with the way the STVR rules are being written.”
