In their own words

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

  1. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, November 15, 2023 2023-11-15

    • [0:17:19] “So why is Salt Spring being excluded? We're not talking about the Islands Trust. We're talking about Salt Spring being excluded. So how did we get that passed? It's ridiculous to me that we have a bylaw sitting on the table that's been on the table for years now, and the province is saying that this type of bylaw needs to be passed province-wide, and yet we can't just go ahead and do it.” (probable)
    • [0:25:35] “concerns that have been raised previously and as staff understand the opinion on the matter concerns are primarily on zones in the uplands land designation this is pursued by OCP policy E.8.2.2.2 as well as the application of the precautionary principle to ensure that land use is not increased in areas that I know are concerned with supply of affordable water OCP policy C.3.1.2.2.” (probable)
    • [1:09:19] “And I promise for myself and all the other people in the task force, if you need support from the citizens, my God, we will be there backing you up. We will go to the Premier's office if we have to. We'll make sure that Chris and all of his staff don't get any slings and arrows underneath this stuff.” (probable)

  2. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee special meeting, January 26, 2023 2023-01-26

    • [0:39:05] “And, and I know Mitchell Sharon in particular, it's his pet desire, hope that, that we will do this, this work. And I know he keeps using the term education forward that he too is not, you know, he's hoping that we don't take a heavy handed regulatory approach to the wildfire resiliency that we do it in a, in a education forward piece.” (probable)
    • [1:22:50] “So I think since, you know, I think the task, both task forces are on hiatus, they know they are, that we don't need to do this action today, that we should carry on and finish our, what our priorities are, and then reassess the advisory planning commissions to make sure that they match the work that we hope to do.” (probable)
    • [0:58:49] “And then when we go through an exercise of deciding what's in or out of an OCP review, we should look at it and, you know, think about it as to what makes sense, what needs to be done right away.” (probable)

  3. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee community information meeting, April 13, 2023 2023-04-13

    • [0:44:47] “All three of the members of this committee are on that committee, and indeed, we're going to be looking at the materials from the working group of Financial Planning Committee in terms of trying to work towards a new planning process to align the financial planning with strategic planning and merge that in a way that hasn't been done before in the organization.” (probable)
    • [4:17:16] “We do need to get some traction on the engines, and so this is the bottom line goal here is, you know how do we manage development and even redevelopment because there's there are sites that are faced with significant redevelopment and again just today.” (probable)
    • [2:28:26] “We're not able to make any further changes. So to read it a third time, and then hold a public hearing would essentially be saying, come and give us input on something that we've already pretty much locked ourselves into deciding anyway.” (probable)

  4. Hornby Island Local Trust Committee regular meeting, March 20, 2026 2026-03-20

    • [1:35:30] “anything further on the motion on the floor, not hearing me i'm going to call the question, all those in favor and any opposed want to post Okay, so the motion carries so trustee Alan I don't know if you managed to find the template bits there that we used for the last one.” (probable)
    • [0:37:57] “trustees were where you sitting on this do what i'm moving to the minor projects list do you want to go ahead and get the briefing to our next meeting where trustee allan I hear you go ahead.” (probable)
    • [2:44:32] “But also, firstly, there's trustees could also individually reach out to the director, Director Harbour, and have a discussion that might then help inform how, like what a motion should contain.” (probable)
