In their own words

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

  1. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, October 18, 2023 2023-10-18

    • [3:34:07] “And so I'm just too, I'm worried about direction being provided and numbers being directed that there's too many people in the pot that might slow the process down, because I think the other thing about the time is slipping by quickly, and we need to have a plan in place for December, and we, my desire and executive committee is supporting that desire is that we really need to look closely at how we're actually conducting each of the meetings and then indeed setting up a plan for next year.”

  2. Gambier Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, June 20, 2023 2023-06-20

    • [2:08:41] “we go into the break, well, I think we're probably just going to pause. That's okay, fine. Thank you very much, Warren. I just wanted to have a conversation perhaps at a later point in time with you. So let us then recess at 12.12 here, and we'll come back at 12.45. Let's make it a round, easy number, and we'll continue with the rest of business today. Is that all right with staff? Half an hour is sufficient for your break? Okay, awesome.”

  3. Islands Trust Regional Planning Committee regular meeting, August 24, 2022 2022-08-24

    • [4:23:07] “And there's so much money these days that's out there, especially around climate change and water protection and all those sorts of things. We really need to find, you know, ideally matching partners or partners that are able to come to the table with money and or skills to facilitate the work to offset council's costs, because it's going to be a constant and tough battle forward to seek yet more and more money to do what we know as the important work.”

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

    • [5:33:46] “Do you want one of those things to be something even lower than that, that isn't necessarily a project that's in your mind, but would be a nice to have, or when we get around to it, we'll do that. And we just never seem to get around to doing those things. Because most of the model bylaws are good tools, could easily be implemented. But when we're allocating resources to our projects, they don't tend to be a high enough priority.”

  5. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, May 5, 2021 2021-05-05

    • [5:23:24] “does but I'm trying to reflect on my own memory which is often problematic anyway now we do have a closed meeting and so I'll thank all the members of the public for joining us today and and and watching us conduct our business here appreciate that and now we're going to I'll ask for motion to go in camera and we will not be returning to a public meeting and we will rise and report at a future meeting if necessary.”

  6. Islands Trust Council community information meeting, June 21, 2021 2021-06-21

    • [1:16:25] “If we don't move that and get you to move in the direction of public hearing, and if we want to consider only discussion today with no amendments and consider amendments at some future meeting, obviously that is going to push that back beyond August and would just like to see, and I'm not going to specify when that might be, because potentially there may be a necessity for a special meeting in between and whether you've considered that or not.”

  7. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, February 10, 2023 2023-02-10

    • [0:25:40] “And I think that there's a couple of things, and maybe I'm resisting the notion of top priorities right at this particular moment in time, but in having read all of the materials, and indeed, thank you, Judy, a lot of reading, and most of them I had to read more than once to get the first absorption, and then kind of that reactionary mode of what I've seen, and then actually going through each to look for the nuggets.”

  8. Thetis Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, April 1, 2025 2025-04-01

    • [1:25:46] “So I would like to know whether there's any legal ground to stand on, because if there's not, then the direction that we want need to go is going to be very different than fighting an individual applicant, which I don't want to do that across the island's trust area, because quite honestly, others are going to consider, oh, this is a nice way to get a 30 year license for an aquaculture operation in the southern Gulf Islands.”

  9. Gambier Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, November 26, 2024 2024-11-26

    • [3:39:12] “That concludes that. Thank you. And we have listened and we've taken all of what we heard very seriously. And I hope that that's understood. We're going to move to correspondence. It appears we haven't received any recently. So I'm going to skip over that. No new business. This brings us to staff reports. And the first item here of significance. And Jason Yeomans, thank you for joining us. 12.1 Phase 4 Community Engagement Options for the Policy Statement.”

  10. Gambier Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, November 21, 2023 2023-11-21

    • [3:02:23] “So should we just start on page 47, and we'll just go through section to section and just basically look for a yay or nay of support the change as presented, which helped me out to plan a Macargar would mean then, like, let's just take that first one on page 47, 1.1, that the red and the purple that are there are what we would endorse and what's been struck out would be endorsed as being struck out.”

  11. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, September 25, 2024 2024-09-25

    • [8:34:08] “So I think we have six or eight people, maybe more on the speaker's list on this. I would like I would like to actually go to a vote because I haven't heard a lot. There is a motion in the wings to take it back to RPC. Oh, I'm not going to then. So, OK, that was what I heard half an hour ago or 20 minutes ago. So what do you want to do, counsel?”

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

    • [1:31:13] “And so I think that there's potential for some formatting, and if that's what you mean by structure, some formatting and layout and definitions and, you know, how materials within the document are referenced, because indeed, if we can provide an opportunity for people when they're reading it to focus on the areas that they're interested in, if we can provide those tools within the document to facilitate that, we would all obviously be much better off.”

  13. Islands Trust Executive Committee special meeting, January 9, 2024 2024-01-09

    • [0:30:29] “the only concern, and I would suggest we just leave that word in. And the reason for that would be, and I'm sure that you're familiar with this, is that often there is a pole or an erection of a sign of some sort on a shoreline, and it could even be on a pole within the marine environment, for all that matters, indicating that there's a buried cable so that people don't anchor on it.”

  14. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, March 12, 2025 2025-03-12

    • [9:01:26] “And, you know, Maine and Thetis probably are probably more complex than others, because on Maine, there's multiple ferries going to multiple islands. And on Thetis, it's a single air ferry that's going to multiple islands. And people on our islands relate to the ferries as a service. It is a service. And I'm glad that you talked about TransLink and that kind of stuff, because that's about moving people places and delivering that service.”
    • [9:00:00] “And so let's see what that looks like. So I'm really glad that you're here and you're helping us come to understand that. But what I wonder is, in that process where that decision was made, for whatever reasons, maybe there were things that didn't work for you, and maybe there were things that didn't work for us, and you said, okay, it's time to do something different.”

  15. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, February 13, 2023 2023-02-13

    • [0:45:42] “One of the things that has been bothering me a little bit lately is trustee summary updates, of which we don't necessarily get written information, and I'm prepared to believe that if we don't get written reports from those bodies, then the bodies are not necessarily interested in providing it, and creating a space for casual reporting on the fly in a busy meeting is maybe less respectful of council's time than it should be.”

  16. Islands Trust Financial Planning Committee regular meeting, January 18, 2023 2023-01-18

    • [1:04:10] “And I'll use by example the motion that was just passed about asking staff to consider amendments to the policy regarding chair, regarding appointments to FPC, is a motion that will end up on the follow-up action list that there is no budget, there is no business case, other than it's a political decision, and it will go forward and staff will spend the time and report to us on the progress of that initiative.”

  17. Thetis Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, April 13, 2021 2021-04-13

    • [2:21:49] “Certainly, it's the most powerful tool, but in the absence of historic weaknesses in the zoning or the development of property as a result of historic zoning, I think we're trying to compensate for that with development permit areas by saying, well, this is what your zoning is, but if you want to do this in this area that we've now identified as being special, that you need to apply for a permit with this.”

  18. Thetis Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, February 2, 2021 2021-02-02

    • [0:08:27] “The Cowichan Valley Regional District, the Strathcona Regional District, and the Minister of Citizen Services of the Local Trust Committee's interest and that it supports funding for fiber connection to Thetis Island, as well as funding for Internet Service Provider, ISP, supported last mile fiber connections to all homes on Thetis Island, including advising the Cowichan Valley Regional District that the Local Trust Committee supports their interest in providing the 10% funding to Thetis Island.”

  19. Thetis Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, June 3, 2025 2025-06-03

    • [0:20:01] “But I think realistically, you are kind of breaking new ground here. And it may or may not be clear. Well, certainly not clear to me at this point in time, because I've not had a report from staff to provide us with how this is going to fit into the Green Shores program, how it's going to fit into our OCPs and LEBs and how it'll fit and align with the policy.”

  20. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, December 5, 2023 2023-12-05

    • [0:45:08] “But I think the one that is referred to, which is also about ferries, is that the ferry that we – it was a remarkable thing at BC Ferries, actually, is they bought a ferry from somewhere down in the U.S., cut it into four pieces, and brought it up to Canada, and refitted it slightly wider and longer than it was originally, and then blessed Thetis Island with a completely rebuilt ferry.”

  21. Gambier Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, March 14, 2023 2023-03-14

    • [0:47:49] “And I think what we need to be sure that we're doing to not only answer Trustee Bernard's questions, but members of the public, particularly going into a community information session, is that we consolidate all this sort of communal knowledge that we have within the Islands Trust about those projects and those discussions that have happened historically to inform the underlying principles around the necessity for shoreline protection looking into the future.”

  22. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, May 29, 2024 2024-05-29

    • [1:26:31] “But I can't help but wonder with the amount of conversation that we've had here already, just in a committee, when we're not being clear on the messaging, I wonder why we have to say anything at all in the annual report about the lack of a survey, because it's just going to do exactly the same thing, raise this question for which we don't seem to have a full answer.”

  23. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, June 29, 2022 2022-06-29

    • [1:06:23] “And indeed, we have to have projects. Well, I guess it begs the question about what the projects are and do we really need any projects. And so, to me, narrowing the focus here in terms of this amendment is where it goes to early engagement with First Nations and others to provide input to possible projects in the local trust area would be as simple as it needs to be.”

  24. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, June 8, 2022 2022-06-08

    • [2:51:50] “So, just thinking out loud, maybe what I'll do actually is, if Trustee McConkie is still here, is how about we address 7.5.6 right now? He may be on his lunch break and wanting to go back to work, and I want to respect that. And let's do 7.5.6, and then we'll just double back to administrative services, and then we'll all have a break for lunch. Does that sound reasonable?”

  25. Thetis Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, September 28, 2021 2021-09-28

    • [1:31:58] “And, you know, I think that's part of the reason why I was supportive of the recent policy statement funding to not necessarily engage in a fully involved discussion, but to lean towards opportunities for involvement by profession item is, should we mention in some, because, of course, the other thing is, is that our community and many communities are looking at, do you guys have any, do you have any”

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

    • [2:30:00] “So welcome back, everybody. Thank you for joining us. My name is Peter Luckham. I'm the chair of the Island Trust Local Trust Committee here on Salt Spring Island. I live on the Thetis Island, and that is in the Laiacson and Penelope Territory, and I am grateful to live and work throughout the Coast Salish territories of the many nations that this is their home since the beginning of time.”

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

    • [1:20:19] “And I think the engagement and I'm thinking about I've shared with Claire a symposium style format where people can be invited, welcomed, facilitate sort of casual conversation like at a reception in rooms or something and then bring everybody back together for plenary sort of discussion videos and then go back into groups to allow some interaction so that it's more welcoming than a talking heads kind of a thing.”

  28. Islands Trust Executive Committee regular meeting, May 4, 2022 2022-05-04

    • [0:43:04] “And as you've heard just now, every single one of those people is wearing multiple hats. And some of those hats have gotten a lot bigger. They were five-gallon hats when they got them, and they're 10-gallon hats now. And just want to acknowledge that everybody is running thin, trying to meet the needs of the organization with the limited resources and additional capacity that we've chosen to take on.”

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

    • [0:53:16] “And then I just wanted to remind the FPC, that's really significant in all of this. Every year we make a motion to borrow money in case we run out of money. That always exists, and will always continue to exist. And admittedly, we don't want to borrow money, but I think at the same time, Trustee Brennan is saying, we don't want to bank money either. So we need”

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

    • [3:46:25] “and so I think that, you know, I don't know my messaging here will be is let's get this applicant before the local trust committee as soon as possible so that these uncertainties can be dealt with in a timely fashion because it is at the patience of the community that the bylaws which are in place are temporarily dismissed in order to allow that community need to be served.”

  31. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, January 15, 2025 2025-01-15

    • [3:49:22] “I also know that the sessions and the training that I have taken, which I would encourage others to get training on, it does indicate that the best practice is to seek approval or tacit approval or permission to conduct the meetings in a certain way so that when we cross the line to not behaving in the way that we agreed upon at the beginning of the meeting,”

  32. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, June 18, 2024 2024-06-18

    • [0:56:18] “And despite the fact that the ferry terminal was wiped out by a school bus about two weeks ago, backed into it, knocked it off the blocks and is now condemned, the Gavi dock, which has been in desperate need of repairs for many years, actually got started on the repairs until apparently the CVRD hadn't done sufficient archaeological investigation to determine that there was an archaeological site there,”

  33. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, May 15, 2024 2024-05-15

    • [2:45:00] “So in any, it strikes me that we need a report of some kind with options and recommendations. I think that from an administrative perspective, I don't know that executive committee necessarily needs to be waiving fees for events of which, let's just say in the summertime, there could be a dozen events if people catch on to this, and that we'd be spending our time doing that administrative”

  34. Islands Trust Executive Committee regular meeting, January 31, 2024 2024-01-31

    • [4:24:07] “And certainly every conversation we have with the province always, and in fact, you know, I was quite excited when Minister Cullen, in the last go round of ministers, I thought really understood the point that there needs to be some different funding model associated with conservancy work at the Islands Trust, because at this moment, it's only the taxpayers of the Islands Trust area that pay for it.”

  35. Islands Trust Financial Planning Committee regular meeting, August 30, 2023 2023-08-30

    • [3:34:59] “And we've been following this process and getting a lot more input from it. But I do agree, I think it's not necessarily satisfying. And I think what would be more helpful is indeed earlier on somehow, I don't really know how that part works, but earlier on somehow actually getting support for values that the work that we undertake supports the values that are supported by the community,”

  36. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, December 6, 2022 2022-12-06

    • [0:26:03] “And indeed, I've reached out to Trustee Elliott yesterday, expressing my concerns about her workload for LTCs and committees and providing her the opportunity that if that's too much work, that I had sort of considered the allocations of those committee roles by executive committee on the committees and had considered that I would take on that responsibility of the Honest Trust Conservancy to help soften the workload there.”

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

    • [0:35:49] “But I know that on my own property, I have what foresters refer to as dwarf trees, that because of the circumstances of the topology, sandstone rock, very thin layers of nutrients, and the like, of which the Gary Oak ecosystem is a major part of, how are we capturing, is that a very small percentage of the coast of Douglas fir that we need to be concerned about?”

  38. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, July 21, 2021 2021-07-21

    • [2:08:39] “decision. Nobody on staff made that decision. The chair made that decision. And I made that decision, not fully on all information that that was a bit I didn't have the information available to me that was able to actually indicate the numbers but I certainly had a sense of watching the numbers that there was enough people in the room that were still online trustees that were online.”

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

    • [3:10:54] “But I also, it seems to me that we do need more clarity for everybody about participation and recusing oneself from the decision making because that seemed to be the other hurdle that we are having difficulty with because indeed it's difficult to separate funding allocation, a limited pot of money amongst a number of applications when there are pros and cons to funding one or the other more.”

Every transcript they speak in (259)

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.
