In their own words

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

  1. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, June 10, 2022 2022-06-10

    • [1:42:21] “am I bringing this up? I'm not trying to be difficult here. Is the applicant aware of the fact that when this does happen, the subdivision, that they have to decommission a house? And why I brought this up is that we have allowed secondary suites are legal, are allowed, are conforming use on this island, and I'm just wondering whether, instead of him having to decommission their house, whether it will be differently classified.”
    • [1:02:20] “Well, basically, what happened in the last meeting is that I volunteered, you told me to contact Claire Freider, so that's not reflected in the minutes. So I contacted Claire Freider regarding the signage, as you know, and so that's, I just wanted that noted in the minutes.”

  2. Islands Trust Regional Planning Committee special meeting, July 27, 2023 2023-07-27

    • [2:50:13] “Um, yeah, I just wanted to follow what Trustee Graham said, you know, 10 year plus, I'm not sure how long ago it was, but we had a developer who had a brilliant idea. And it was great. It was four corners. But instead, what they did when they came to the community, they put this giant billboard on the corner, didn't have a meeting, didn't talk to anybody.”
    • [3:04:59] “Well, the Housing Accelerator funding, I was under the impression when we were at the Housing Summit that it's just, it's basically population, so Salt Spring Island and Bowen would be the only islands that could apply. Is that still correct that smaller islands would not be able to because of our population? Could somebody clarify that for me?”
    • [3:05:38] “God, you know, how many years really? The housing accelerator, I can't say accelerator, accelerator funding. I was just wondering, I thought that was just for large populations like Salt Spring and like 15,000 plus. I wouldn't relate to any other items. Can you clarify that?”

  3. Islands Trust Governance Committee regular meeting, September 2, 2022 2022-09-02

    • [1:17:58] “Mayor Mrakas, You know i'm sort of also you know, in terms of our advocacy that as well it's like we're doing things that we shouldn't be doing, and we have to really look at that and devote our energies to things that we actually can do that are in our toolbox so that's sort of a big umbrella yeah yeah.”

  4. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, July 16, 2021 2021-07-16

    • [1:55:01] “Two, text is deleted in its entirety and replaced with, quote, a minimum lot size should be established within the land use bylaw regulations for a lot that may be subdivided pursuant to Section 514 of the Local Government Act subdivision to provide residence for a relative so as to uphold the objectives of the applicable designation in this plan, unquote.”
    • [2:48:01] “And I don't know if it's an actual law in terms of the length of time we allow people to respond, but I don't think it's either long enough or we're not putting in all these other scenarios that are, you know, it's not just opening up your email and reading it right away and things.”
    • [2:36:35] “I know they've got a knife on what's going on right now, but whether that's come up as a project in terms of just reviewing what we have in our protocol agreement, whether they're relevant still, that's all.”

  5. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, January 20, 2023 2023-01-20

    • [3:25:51] “in terms, I was under the, understood that a 911 call, if there's no tower that exists on Hornby, that it would automatically, it would go to another tower under a 2G or something that, so let's say you call 911, the tower on Headey, possibly, Texeda or Denman would collect it. Is that correct, that it would go to?”
    • [1:48:50] “And I want to do this properly. And I think ISTRA and other groups would like to see this kind of get back again and focus predominantly on vacation rentals and the APC recommendations and set aside those other issues at this point, because it's obviously, yeah, a little more important as”
    • [3:35:48] “And I find it really unfortunate the timeframe that, you know, the first time in two years of people taking holidays, we still have people away that have been away since the beginning of November, and that would have a say on this that don't have a chance to.”

  6. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, September 29, 2023 2023-09-29

    • [0:35:47] “Well, from our discussion, we didn't really want option two at this particular time, so I'm not sure why. And also, I'd like to have that friendship accord included in option two, if that's going to be. So I'm confused why we're including option two when we haven't really, we're going to see how option one plays out.” (probable)

  7. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, December 13, 2023 2023-12-13

    • [2:59:42] “move that prior to consideration of draft bylaws to amend the Hornby Island Official Community Plan for Land Use Bylaw, the Hornby Island Local Trust Committee request staff to prepare an analysis of options and implications of the Short-Term Rental Accommodation Act, Bill 35, as it pertains to the regulation or...”

  8. Islands Trust Programs Committee regular meeting, November 6, 2023 2023-11-06

    • [0:28:56] “But I think it would be better if we had sort of almost like the legislative monitoring piece where people can go off and look at, you know, reports and whatever that are within the whatever bylaw or something that's passed and they can just go off and look at themselves.”

  9. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, March 26, 2021 2021-03-26

    • [0:42:38] “So I've always thought about and also I remember being on the APC a long time ago, many years, and it was all about vacation rentals and the commercial business were coming and saying there's got to be a level playing field where everybody should have the same taxes or something.”
    • [1:25:54] “And of course, if they do reject it, we have an opportunity as LTC to bring it back again, apparently. Do we not? If ALR rejects this, do we not as an LTC can bring back something to them? I heard that you can. I'm hearing a big blank.”
    • [2:47:30] “because I'm just trying to think of another example. Obviously, if it's a community use, it's going to be come up to the community to make a decision whether it's a community use, right? It's not just, I was just wondering where that's vetted.”

  10. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, September 6, 2023 2023-09-06

    • [5:19:04] “And that's what I find a particular challenge as a trustee is that it's just, it's excruciatingly, like here we are just doing a target review, but meanwhile, there's so many other things that I'd love to add on that have appeared in the last four or five, six months.”
    • [5:18:48] “agree as well. But I think the biggest challenge is that we do that at all different times of year, different terms. And in each term, something comes up, but yet it's not our turn to have our OCP review that until maybe a few more years later.”

  11. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, September 22, 2021 2021-09-22

    • [1:29:21] “You know I read a lot of the letters that were received regarding the whole engagement process and I felt a lot of them are not necessarily with the actual engagement process per se but it was more about the how rushed it was and bad timing during the pandemic,”
    • [1:29:36] “and that. So I just see that why can't we can do cheaper versions grassroots level like, you know, we can have community neighborhood meetings, Grant and I could have a booth outside the co op or something.”

  12. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, January 9, 2023 2023-01-09

    • [2:26:45] “move that the Trust Programs Committee adopt the meeting dates of February 6, April 3, May 15, August 28, and November 6, for the 2023 calendar year, and that the dates of April 3 and November 6 would be in person and the other dates would be electronic.”
    • [0:26:57] “You know, I would think that when we would talk to the staff and say, well, what do you think, you know, we should carry on with the trust policy statement review and look at the, what was the other one, the Crown's land.”
    • [2:08:15] “I'm just wondering, on the first one, the Secretariat, the third part, I was looking at all the staff that attended Bainsound Lambert Channel Forum, and over the years, and also the Howe Sound Forum, couldn't find anything on the Southern Gulf Island Forum.”

  13. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, February 18, 2022 2022-02-18

    • [1:38:41] “I'm concerned because we've been through this before and I'm not trying to hold things to be a bad news bear here just have all the process and because it took so long with that last application and then it turned out they couldn't do what they wanted.”
    • [1:03:54] “I was just gonna say when we discussed it way back when it was going to be renting the hall and then the two individuals be coming and there'll be a presentation and talk and stuff but it would be at the hall, because that's the only.”
    • [1:28:02] “as you know, I'm really all about notification and if people don't hear like you said there's, we had one letter from one neighbor and in fact, there's this other neighbor who's really affected it was right above this property that did not get the”

  14. Islands Trust Council community information meeting, July 8, 2021 2021-07-08

    • [1:04:57] “It's phenomenal. There's many themes, but it's rushed. It was during a pandemic. We need more time. And I'd like to quote this letter from Jane Morley on Pender Island. She basically really summed up how I feel, and I feel what we should all be thinking about.”

  15. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, September 21, 2021 2021-09-21

    • [3:31:49] “I was, I was interested how many properties have had covenants on pre cutting in the trust area, you probably can answer that now maybe maybe trustee fast beyond the conspiracy board but it's it's curious that as a mechanism for people that, you know, after”

  16. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, July 4, 2025 2025-07-04

    • [1:33:50] “So, and then, should we give some sort of indication to the applicant that they can apply again, or they already know this, and we don't need to, this is, we just need to, this is the same reason why denying, that's it, this particular.” (probable)

  17. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, January 29, 2021 2021-01-29

    • [3:38:50] “And also given the fact that technology is changing so much that you've got Elon Musk launching satellites daily and providing Internet services to, ironically enough, we are in the latitude, Hornby Island, that is being offered, though the cost is kind of expensive.”
    • [4:08:02] “I'm not privy to it. I think Tony Lou all bought it more than I did. But this is sort of snuck in and I know the community and the neighbors and everything are going to be not happy.”
    • [4:09:49] “All right. And then any other questions? I think that was it for those. Oh, Jeremy Payne, page 140, the Temporary and Industrial Use Permit. The last one, I guess? No, it's not the last one. TUP 2020.2.”

  18. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, November 13, 2024 2024-11-13

    • [0:54:16] “Is it not because of their OCP or LUB that's perhaps not clear enough and an individual or a group does something wrong and they still maintain that they are allowed to do it and there's vague laws in their OCP and BIOS?”

  19. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, June 16, 2023 2023-06-16

    • [2:14:58] “I think we should make it our minor project, given the other two were basically came from the trustees and they can be, they're not, they don't have time sensitive, whereas what I understand the other one was time sensitive, the Heritage Registry.”

  20. Islands Trust Financial Planning Committee regular meeting, October 23, 2024 2024-10-23

    • [1:10:37] “Well, I also want to capture that we should, that Trust Council should explore new venues as well, and holding an in-person Trust Council. So, whether I have to make this as a separate motion, or can this be added on?”

  21. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, August 28, 2023 2023-08-28

    • [2:45:50] “And when you get the, dare I say, the human side of Islands Trust, when we do present webinars, when we come and, you know, talk about things that affect us all, not just bylaw enforcement issues and, you know,”

  22. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, May 6, 2022 2022-05-06

    • [0:58:17] “I move that a Hormigha and Local Trust Committee by-law number 169, cited as Hormigha and Local Trust Committee Fees by-law 2022, be forwarded to the Secretary of the Islands Trust for the approval by the Executive Committee.” (probable)

  23. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, March 11, 2021 2021-03-11

    • [2:26:06] “And also, I have concerns, I'm not sure how far it goes back, it's 2008 or something in terms of the documents available, but I often need to find documents before that and I have nowhere to go.”
