Back issue. The Denman Firestarter did not exist on 2012-02-28. This edition was compiled on 2026-09-06 from the public record as it stood on 2012-02-28, and contains nothing dated after that day — no outcomes, no hindsight. It is a reconstruction of what was on the record at the time, not a document from the time.

The Denman Firestarter

The Denman Island Local Trust Committee gives first, second and third readings to proposed Bylaw No. 203, which includes an Agriculture Advisory Planning Commission, and refers it to the Executive Committee. 1

The commission is to consist of up to six members. The committee may appoint up to three members in even numbered years and up to three in odd numbered years, with two-year terms. 1

The committee defeats a proposal to appoint up to six members for up to two years in a single resolution. Trustee Graham votes in favour; Trustee Busheikin and Chair Luckham vote against. 1

The committee also adopts Bylaw No. 202, an amendment to the Denman Island Official Community Plan Bylaw, 2008. 1

The committee asks the Bylaw Enforcement Coordinator to draft a report presenting an enforcement policy and to work with staff to schedule a Community Information Meeting about the proposed Bylaw Enforcement Notification Bylaw. 1
