In their own words

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

  1. Islands Trust Programs Committee regular meeting, April 8, 2021 2021-04-08

    • [1:43:33] “And I have to say that this is, you know, it's a very tenuous connection. I'm just trying to be, take the best practices view of this, because, you know, as comments were made, this is essentially the work of the Islands Trust, and, you know, when it comes right down to it, I don't feel a conflict so much as possibly a bias, because, you know, being involved in it, it's hard to say that I wouldn't be already predisposed towards it.”
    • [3:25:03] “But, you know, I think it's that cluster of things that we want to put to legal counsel. And then a secondary question is, if there is that conflict of interest, does that disqualify the person from then dealing with other applications in which there is a limited pot of funds available for distribution?”
    • [2:03:58] “of money to go around. That's what I'm kind of looking at, as well as the you know the nature of the business that they're involved in. So, yeah, that's, that's for the future as I say, or it has it has been said I fully agree that's that's a future project.”

  2. Islands Trust Conservancy Board regular meeting, September 21, 2022 2022-09-21

    • [0:16:40] “You know, is it man-centered, or is it the rest of nature-centered that we're to be looking at? That's the way I see the essential breakdown of this. And I have to say that I'm a bit dismayed by the legal report that we got, the legal opinion, which basically says, well, it's up to trust counsel to kind of, you know, decide what that is.”
    • [0:16:12] “I mean, it's pretty fundamental to me. And I assumed it was axiomatic for everybody who was going to be involved in the trust. But now I see what the division is. Essentially, is it an ecologically focused organization, or is it anthropologically oriented or anthropomorphically oriented?”
    • [0:17:06] “And I found that most unhelpful, really, because to me, all the words of the object point to an ecological focus for this organization, that we shouldn't be just an agency that is organizing our environment for maximum benefit for the human beings that occupy the space.”

  3. Denman Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, May 4, 2021 2021-05-04

    • [1:24:27] “And I think that going into a complete OCP review, it's not a good time for that in the sense that when I was looking at the revisions to the trust policy statement that are proposed, there's a lot of new things, you know, directive policies that in their official community plans, local trust committees shall have this and that and the other thing in there.”
    • [1:49:14] “And, you know, rather than just these things that might possibly work, in which I don't think have much prospect of really working, and to which our chair has added her voice of confirmation regarding the Bowen experience, what I am seeing, you know, there's this idea of, yeah, just give everybody the right to build.”
    • [1:09:34] “In fact, one that opened my eyes a little bit, I thought I knew a lot, was the statement that the trust area is home to an exceptional variety of rare and culturally significant species, including over 100 federally listed and over 300 provincially listed species at risk.”

  4. Islands Trust Executive Committee regular meeting, June 9, 2021 2021-06-09

    • [6:22:32] “So I just wanted to let people know that that has been ongoing, and what our plan is for the future on that. And in so stating, I'm hoping that we'll forestall a discussion of that rather difficult topic at this particular juncture at the end of the day. I don't think it would be productive. Anyway, thank you for that opportunity.”
    • [0:51:01] “And I know it sounds a bit radical, but I would really like to know what the savings would be from having all planners attend only by Zoom to these meetings, because I see a tremendous amount of travel time, of planner time being used up in travel, unavoidably to this point.”
    • [6:22:06] “All trustees would have ample time to consider it and possibly give me or Dan Rogers personal feedback on it and the opportunity for tweaking it and getting as much consensus as we could on a replacement for the polarized positions that we experienced at the last council.”

  5. Denman Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, July 6, 2021 2021-07-06

    • [3:08:29] “But I'm wondering then from a long rambling statement here, just by way of predicate towards a question for staff about experience in the trust area, or even elsewhere for that matter, with septic systems of this sort, these type one septic systems in an area that is using wells and in an area that has a fair density of other”
    • [0:12:19] “We had our guest speakers were from the Comox Valley Conservation Partnership, and it was suggested that they tell us their history because we thought that possibly their method of organization, their mode of operation might be something which we could emulate or take elements from for the Maine Sound Forum as it continues on.”
    • [2:48:28] “I will look up his name. His first name, I believe, was Daryl. Might have been Belanger. But he told me specifically that when there are public interest matters that you'd like to give priority to, we, the water licensing branch, he said, we'll act on that.”

  6. Islands Trust Executive Committee regular meeting, May 14, 2021 2021-05-14

    • [1:15:19] “I don't favor doing that. So I think we need to stay within our budget. And thinking about what could be dropped, I do think that the economic, whatever it's called, sorry, I don't have it, Southern Gulf Islands Forum request for participation and funding, is the one that I think is the weakest in terms of our mandate.”
    • [4:48:12] “So the carrying capacity of the groundwater region becomes irrelevant in that context. If we are prepared to continue with that, which was a bit of an ad hoc policy at the time, to say that, yes, captured rainwater is fresh water for the purposes of the trust policy statement.”

  7. Denman Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, March 16, 2021 2021-03-16

    • [1:03:41] “But apart from that, yeah, I want to hear from people. And what else? Oh, as far as the deadline and submitting materials, I would say to people that, you know, I would like to have that as a kind of general rule still, you know, so that you have adequate time to review these materials.”
    • [3:45:25] “But from what I'm told by staff is that anytime that there is a curiosity about something being constructed and so forth, if there is a permit, staff are more than happy to deal with that on an individual basis, that there's not a lot of requests for such things.”

  8. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, March 10, 2021 2021-03-10

    • [1:03:24] “So I'd like to make an amendment to this motion. And if it receives a seconder, then I'll explain or have some words in support of it. But what I'm proposing then is to amend it by adding at the end, the words subject to the paramount object of preservation and protection of the natural environment.”

  9. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, September 22, 2022 2022-09-22

    • [1:55:32] “I was informed by staff that it was really a major project and a standalone, and it was just not feasible to be done at that time. Nonetheless, I think it is something, it is a nettle that we need to grasp. And I'm not really comfortable with the idea that the name carrying capacity.”

  10. Islands Trust Programs Committee regular meeting, February 5, 2021 2021-02-05

    • [1:54:08] “you. Yeah, I also think it's an important subject and that it deserves a fair bit of attention. I'm concerned about putting it in kind of last minute into the housing only and wondering whether it is a bit late to start with, in regard to the trust policy statement review.”

  11. Denman Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, January 19, 2021 2021-01-19

    • [2:16:32] “And I'm wondering about whether that is a necessary thing because there's really not much to it other than it seems to me it recites a lot of the standard data about who drilled the well and when and where the data logger is sitting at and this sort of thing.”

  12. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, August 27, 2021 2021-08-27

    • [2:08:52] “So I'm wondering about the value in preparing some materials which could go out generally, and so they wouldn't be sort of focused just on one organization, you know, and sort of alleging that, well, you're not paying sufficient attention to us or acknowledging the existence of Iowa's trust.”

  13. Denman Island Local Trust Committee public hearing, April 29, 2022 2022-04-29

    • [1:03:00] “But this is such a fundamentally important issue to the protection of the environment and to the protection of wells in the immediate neighborhood there, not the least of which is the very well that's going to be serving the water needs of the residents of this project.”
    • [0:38:55] “So I'm wondering, can you say what is proper maintenance and would it be part of our concern that we have some sort of covenants in our documentation, much as we did on the DCLTA file for continuous well monitoring and so forth?”

  14. Denman Island Local Trust Committee meeting, September 7, 2021 2021-09-07

    • [2:07:33] “And more broadly for our local trust committee is whether we should, down the road, be looking at having some sort of events bylaw to try and get a bit of a handle on larger events, particularly in the summertime, where it presents a heightened risk of wildfire.”
    • [2:07:53] “I know that the fire chief locally is concerned about this and thinks that it would be useful to have that as a tool to manage larger events on private property, which currently it's very restricted as to what can be done about it.”

  15. Denman Island Local Trust Committee public hearing, March 15, 2021 2021-03-15

    • [0:25:56] “And my understanding was from our last local trust committee meeting, we had expressed a view, a preference to deal with the bylaws on the day following, in other words, tomorrow's local trust committee meeting, rather than this evening immediately following on the heels of the public hearing.”

  16. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, September 20, 2022 2022-09-20

    • [0:30:25] “Now, I recognize that trust's role has historically been quite limited in this and what we can do. We can approve or not approve applications that are brought before us for rezoning, but we can look at how we might facilitate affordable housing in a better fashion.”
    • [1:08:50] “I do wonder if there is a time coming when we ought to have a biologist on staff that we can consult with regularly or alternatively have a consultant retained in the same way that we have lawyers retained and we can tap them for questions.”
    • [1:09:53] “So that's another area for consideration. I'd be interested in hearing from anybody else about that general topic of how do we get the proper scientific information, and how can we help the creatures of our local environments who are undergoing great stresses? Thanks.”

  17. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, March 9, 2022 2022-03-09

    • [2:16:40] “It seems to me that some of the response that we've got recently in quite an organized way in which people are complaining about a democratic deficit seem to have a misunderstanding about the form of engagement and what we are doing by putting out surveys.”

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

    • [0:28:31] “So I move that Trust Council affirms its understanding that preservation and protection of the natural environment is central to the mandate of the Islands Trust, and that this responsibility must be given special and profound consideration in all our decisions and in all we do.”
    • [3:12:41] “Let's get real about that. Really. As far as reconciliation is concerned, I'm hearing from other trustees that they are getting the message from certain Indigenous people that they are not happy with the way that engagement has gone so far, and they want more.”

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

    • [6:30:17] “And, you know, I would love to take up the suggestion by Trustee Rogers, you know, and the people who have formulated it in this way, that if there's a local trust committee that's interested, you know, let them know and they'll get going on.”
    • [7:45:56] “Well, I don't recall the minutes in that way, or there's something missing. Wouldn't it be an appropriate thing to discuss with a colleague and say, do you recall the resolution being thus and such, or do you recall something being left out?”

  20. Islands Trust Programs Committee regular meeting, May 3, 2021 2021-05-03

    • [1:58:13] “I do think that if it's going to be in the document, we have to have an understanding of what it means, whether it's a precise definition or whether it's something in the kind of more interpretive contextual framing that's been done in other phrases.”

  21. Islands Trust Programs Committee regular meeting, April 8, 2021 2021-04-08

    • [3:39:38] “Chair Morrison had been concerned about and that was the ability of a disqualified person in respect of one application to be able to participate in the voting for the remaining applicants in the situation where there is insufficient funds to pay all of them.”

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

    • [3:34:20] “What are the parameters for use of contract planners? What does that cost to an applicant? And is that something that is an alternative that's available for somebody who wants an application to go forward despite the lack of staff to work with it?”

Every transcript they speak in (50)

Transcripts are machine-made from the Islands Trust's own recordings; each speaker attribution carries a confidence mark (certain = identified by ear or hand, probable = matched to a saved voice), and every line links to the second of the recording so it can be checked. Motions, votes and attendance are taken from the Trust's published minutes and quote them verbatim.
