The Islands Trust Executive Committee approved three local trust committee bylaws at its September 23 meeting: one for Galiano Island, two for Hornby Island and one for South Pender Island.[1]
The Galiano bylaw amends the island’s land use bylaw; the minutes say it addressed residents’ urgent concerns about power access and use.[1]
For Hornby, the committee approved an amendment to the official community plan and an amendment to the land use bylaw.[1]
The South Pender approval was for a public notification bylaw. The minutes say the local trust committee had initially selected direct email or mail-out notification, and staff were asked to amend the options or provide greater clarity in future requests.[1]
The committee also discussed the September Islands Trust Council meeting, including mixed feedback on prompts to turn on cameras during votes and concerns about Wi-Fi reliability and hearing staff in the Victoria office boardroom.[1]
