Trustee election

Elected by acclamation. Jeanine Dodds and David Maude were declared elected by acclamation. No ballot was held. The notice states that Jeanine Dodds and David Maude are elected by acclamation. No ballot was held.^[1][2]

Housing amendments adopted

The adopted August 31 minutes record adoption of housing OCP amendment 196 and land-use amendment 197 (MA-2026-059/060), following Executive Committee and ministerial approvals. These are adopted amendments, rather than proposals still waiting for first reading.^[3]

Other local votes

The CRD also lists Rob Fawcett elected by acclamation as Southern Gulf Islands Electoral Area director. This is a regional-district office, separate from the Islands Trust trustee seats.^[4]

The new term

The Trust says trustees will be sworn into office on November 12, followed by Council meetings on November 13 and 14. Current officeholders remain in office until the new term. The Council meeting will include elections for the Executive Committee and Conservancy Board positions.^[5]

This is a dated public-record check, covering the local trust area and its associated islands. A preliminary count is not an official declaration; readings, approval and adoption are separate steps. Candidate vote totals are not a count of voters. Regional-district and school electoral boundaries differ from Trust-area boundaries; other offices are identified separately. This check is not a full re-audit of every bylaw.
