In their own words

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

  1. Denman Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, May 31, 2022 2022-05-31

    • [2:36:28] “It's worth the idea because I think if there's a few people perhaps who come in on it, it might benefit the whole community, I don't know, but I think it's worth looking into because I think people now at this point in the pandemic, it's not a matter of expecting it, but I think we've already had proof of concept that it leads to better public participation and engagement for everybody.”
    • [0:53:21] “I'm just going to see if I can get the, I'm putting up the sound. There we go. Can you hear us now, Heather? I can hear you. Thank you. I'll take this mask off so I'm not so muffled. And thank you for joining us, Regional Planning Manager Heather Keller. This is Heather. And she's joining us for this section here on page 59 of the agenda.”

  2. Gambier Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, July 22, 2021 2021-07-22

    • [2:49:02] “I would want to know what kind of resources were being made available to me, because the way I would read this, it wouldn't have been clear to me. Now, maybe there was going to be more information provided to them when they were doing it, but I would want to know that there was going to be a communications consultant involved, that they would be able to work with that” (probable)

  3. Denman Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, March 22, 2022 2022-03-22

    • [3:17:18] “We kind of need to set a framework and we've had input from the public and we've talked about it at Trust Council and we know that there's some funding for another housing study coming from the Comox Valley Regional District, so maybe these things will coincide, I don't know whether that's going to be part of this but it might inform it during the process, would that be right?”
    • [0:06:17] “about the pandemic that we're in. And if this gets to 1500, I'm going to open all the doors and windows and if it gets higher, we might need to take a break. It started out at about 600 just so you know, it looks like it'll probably be okay. So this is just for people's health information, and for my information, trying to run a safe meeting.”

  4. Islands Trust Executive Committee regular meeting, September 2, 2021 2021-09-02

    • [0:52:06] “And I'm happy with the recommendation. So I'll just start off from there. My questions relate to things I may have skimmed over or missed. The referrals that are out now to regional districts and First Nations and Bowen Island Municipality, I didn't see them mentioned in here. Maybe you could fill me in on where they would fit? Or do they just run as long as another parallel?”

  5. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, November 6, 2024 2024-11-06

    • [1:55:24] “Maybe this is just because Bowen is just getting its first community hall, yet we have lots of trails and beaches, and that's where people put their time, but I would hate to see them missed, and I know that there are some places that, some islands where it doesn't seem to be in the official community plan, so I think we need a directive policy for it.”
    • [1:54:55] “And even on Bowen, beaches, parks and trails are the main things we even heard from our accessibility committee that those were things they wanted access to. So that's just a recent example. And I think this kind of careful planning and consideration in this category, community facilities and services under the managing growth and development, I think they should be there.”

  6. Islands Trust Programs Committee regular meeting, February 14, 2024 2024-02-14

    • [0:55:00] “I like the idea of giving people practical tools, things that they can do this season, and that's partly why we wanted to have it early in the season, as in March, when people could still make a difference for the upcoming wildfire season and learn more about all the different aspects that go into making decisions about how to lower wildfire risk for people in their properties.”

  7. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, September 23, 2021 2021-09-23

    • [0:55:11] “I like, I like that it's taking us away from binders and into email. And I think it's good that we update this I, I don't want staff to be spending more time on this than they need to anyway so I'd like to move that trust council adopt amended trust policy trust council policy 7.6.1 freedom of information and protection of privacy attachment one move driver secondary.”

  8. Islands Trust Executive Committee regular meeting, April 14, 2021 2021-04-14

    • [2:53:41] “And I think for anybody watching these meetings, whether in person or remotely, it might be confusing. And I've just found it very effective at the local trustee, sorry, local trust committee level to really clearly separate staff roles from trustee roles and ask the public members, citizens and applicants to direct their questions, or sorry, to direct their questions and comments to the LTC, not to staff.”

  9. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, May 27, 2026 2026-05-27

    • [1:49:33] “I think it's a, I've always thought about it as the difference between a draft budget engagement or a pre-budget survey. And that's what we've called it all the way through. So if people do go looking on the website, I thought that this was clear enough that they could find it or that they could ask a question that they could get a clear answer to.”
    • [1:55:52] “I have a seconder? Thank you, Trustee Getty. Very good. And any more discussion? Hearing none, I will, or seeing no hands, oh, Trustee Boland, are you have more discussion? No, no. Okay. Then I'll call the question. All those in favor, please raise your hand. And, oops, sorry, my notes. Good. Thank you. Please lower your hands. And anyone opposed, please raise your hand.”

  10. Gambier Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, September 15, 2022 2022-09-15

    • [0:55:11] “And we'll come back. And I'm going to go now to, I'm just, excuse me here now. Oh, there it is. I want to make sure. Yeah, I've got Thomas Davies after Charlene Smith. And so Charlene, can you go ahead, please? I see her coming in. And we need to unmute Charlene. Charlene, if you're on a phone, it's star six. Oh, there we are.”

  11. Denman Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, November 2, 2021 2021-11-02

    • [0:55:53] “So I imagine he'll be able to fill us in. And Simon, if you could turn your video on, you don't have to, but maybe you could, we can't see you. And just so you know, there you are. Feel free to turn your video off if it helps your audio, but I just wanted to make sure we had you with us. Please go ahead.”
    • [0:00:22] “This is my first time live streaming a Zoom meeting from my office without staff support, or sorry, I have had staff support. This is great. But the earlier time I did it, I had a planner in the room. This time, I have a planner in the Zoom meeting, but I'm taking a first stab at doing it as a vice chair.”

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

    • [3:09:54] “that be part of a 30% income of income? I think maybe, maybe, maybe the question is, is should the words safer or, you know, some definition be included in this? Because to take your, I've got a similar question. And that's the disability payment, or whatever you want to call it, that came from, I think it was $300 one time payment, something like that.”

  13. Islands Trust Executive Committee regular meeting, February 24, 2021 2021-02-24

    • [1:30:00] “And then you would come back into, you would open a regular council meeting, either at the end of that or on another day to consider motions. So I'm wondering if, is there an ability to have a trust council of the whole, as the workshop portion, to make it to be the guidelines to say no motions until we've had this good discussion and workshop.”

  14. Islands Trust Conservancy Board regular meeting, May 24, 2022 2022-05-24

    • [1:11:41] “Just that I'm delighted to see this. I think this is what I was hoping for back when we when staff first got the initial grant funding. And anyway, I'm just delighted. I think it's really good work. And it's really significant. And it demonstrates that we're working towards our mandate of working with partners. And so I think that's terrific. And I'm in support.”

  15. Islands Trust Programs Committee regular meeting, May 7, 2025 2025-05-07

    • [4:22:14] “And they weren't looking at our OCP, our local council was looking at that. But the big umbrella of the trust policy statement was where the rubber didn't hit the road. And I think that's the important thing that we should keep. That's the foundational piece that I would propose that we focus our energy. Sorry, I said that twice, at least. Thank you.”

  16. Islands Trust Programs Committee regular meeting, April 15, 2024 2024-04-15

    • [0:50:14] “And this was the first time that a provincial minister came to the forum to present about ecotourism and how tourism might be balanced with everything else so that it's a good situation all around in terms of I thought the group might be interested in terms of long range bicycle tourism, you know, 60 kilometers to 90 kilometers a day kind of tourism.”

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

    • [1:06:20] “And it's on the website. So anybody can find it there. And I just wanted to let you know it was done. And perhaps, Heather, this could be added to the agenda, if you think it's important, but I know it's at the website. So that's fine. Right? We don't want to burden staff with more going back to agendas that have already happened.” (probable)
    • [3:15:03] “report starts. We made a lot of process today. So this will be changing, I think, next time you see it. Hopefully. Maybe we made progress. We passed motions anyway, with conditions. And I'm not seeing any questions for the applications report. So I'm going to move on. 12.3, Trustee and Local Expense Report. 225 is the page number. Go ahead, Trustee Allen.” (probable)

  18. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, December 10, 2021 2021-12-10

    • [1:58:59] “So this is the one that Heather had drafted the original, we're on page 128 for anybody following, and so I think, and then we had trust council in between, and so we've got the chair of the APC has come back and joined us, and other people are just making their way out, in case you're wondering what the banging is, it's doors.” (probable)

  19. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, February 18, 2026 2026-02-18

    • [0:20:44] “you. I just want to make sure about approval versus information. Okay, thank you. So we've got a motion moved, seconded and clarified. And anybody got any more discussion on the motion? Seeing none, I'll call the vote. Please raise your digital hand if you approve this motion. If you're voting for, whoops, mine was up. Anyway, thank you and lower your hands.”
    • [0:01:25] “Are there any late items or things that people want to add to the agenda at this time? Not seeing any hands. Let me make sure I've got my little panel open. There we go. And okay, so by consent, we're adopting the agenda. Okay, very good. And public comment period. Do we have any people from the public here?”

  20. Islands Trust Financial Planning Committee regular meeting, January 21, 2026 2026-01-21

    • [4:02:02] “I might move something like, and maybe this isn't needed, but the FPC forward the budget materials contained in 7.1 as amended. Did we amend it? No, I don't think so. And other motions passed, which was the one about the asking Islands Trust Conservancy to reconsider for the for Trust Council for the upcoming committee, the whole as it's recommended 2026-27 budget.”

  21. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, February 19, 2025 2025-02-19

    • [0:01:39] “And because we might have a bunch of motions and have to do a bunch of quick thinking or responding to people's ideas today, before a motion is seconded, if we can have a pause so that I can ask staff whether that will be the most effective wording so that we don't have to take the time to adjust it after that.”

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

    • [1:25:23] “And, uh, Claire could go and, um, speak to Comox First Nation and, uh, get their input before, uh, any sign was, um, was developed. If that's the, uh, what I'd love to do is, is be able to say to Claire, yes, we've got agreement among the local trust committee that, uh, here's the steps they would like to see going forward.”

  23. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, August 20, 2025 2025-08-20

    • [0:36:43] “you, Trustee Elliott. I wondered, excuse me, about this too. I noticed I was looking at our terms of reference, and the very top one is to facilitate Trust Council's involvement in the annual budget process. And I thought these results might be circulated earlier. So I look forward to a motion about that, if that's something that others are interested in.”

  24. Gambier Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, September 1, 2022 2022-09-01

    • [3:16:19] “gathering. And this will be at the John Braithwaite Center in North Van on West 1st Street. And then what we've been talking about today is that we've got a virtual community engagement session for the Gambier OCP LUB, Wednesday, September 14. If you know anybody who wanted to be here today, for the meeting that's following this or who might be” (probable)

  25. Denman Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, July 19, 2022 2022-07-19

    • [1:35:31] “And the other reason I'm asking about dead net is because this is one, it's just one LTC example that might be easier to compile for staff and that Sonia has been part of it all and before all the staff change and the memory is gone, we'd be able to add up some numbers and actually have an estimate. Go ahead.”

  26. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, March 23, 2022 2022-03-23

    • [3:58:41] “And the bit I read from page 125 about the describe how your project fits and that would enable executive committee or whoever, whether it's a local trust committee weigh in on it, I don't know, but it seems to me that it needs to be more competitive rather than first come first serve and rather than not enough info for me.”

  27. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, October 22, 2025 2025-10-22

    • [0:10:17] “It seems very operational to me. We're down to little details, including like $300 I saw go by at one point for such a big budget. It seems to me that if we can do what it says we can do in our terms of reference, which is the first goal, is to facilitate trust council's involvement in the annual budget.”

  28. Islands Trust Executive Committee regular meeting, December 15, 2021 2021-12-15

    • [1:52:13] “This time I asked Bowen Council to look at the Trust Council agenda that we just had, specifically the CAO's report on the strategic plan, those pages that talk about what the work the Trust is close to completing and the work the Trust is working on and the products that are going to come forward, like the cultural heritage mapping.”

  29. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, November 17, 2021 2021-11-17

    • [1:49:52] “And the question of limiting how much time have you got on the agenda to hear the delegations and whether they're relevant to the work of the committee and all those kinds of things are reasons, I think, to say, help me complete your application because I don't see how it fits this definition and to help manage these business meetings.”

  30. Islands Trust Council regular meeting, February 11, 2026 2026-02-11

    • [1:17:56] “And I'm wondering if that is supposed to be, to me, that sounds like it's either, I was thinking, who would these persons be who were listed in an engagement plan? Could that be like realtors? Or would this be, what's an example? Otherwise, persons to me sounds like citizens and community engagement, which I don't think is meant there.”

  31. Islands Trust Financial Planning Committee regular meeting, November 12, 2025 2025-11-12

    • [3:27:29] “be happy to say a note. I'd be happy to say something about that when I say a few words about the work program at the beginning of the Trust Council. Okay, good. I'll make a note of that with it. Okay, thank you. And with that, then let's go to what's labeled as 7.3.8, the budget consultation plan briefing.”

  32. Islands Trust Executive Committee regular meeting, January 12, 2022 2022-01-12

    • [1:16:37] “But I totally get it that this is for members of the public. And I'm going to be talking to our CAO on Bowen about how best for all of the Islands Trust projects and products that are coming up to better report on them than the little verbal report I give, just so that there's no surprises and things.”

  33. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, May 21, 2021 2021-05-21

    • [1:23:01] “Corrections then? Any more discussion? Okay, then I'll call the question. All those in favor? Thank you. And thank you for clarifying that for me. I just, I'm never quite sure. I just want to make sure you've got the information, as opposed to not thinking maybe they don't need it. Okay, thank you. Good. And then I'll do that.”

Every transcript they speak in (148)

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.
