Islands Trust adopts Bylaw Enforcement Notification Bylaw

governance · 2019-06-06 · Islands Trust meeting

The Islands Trust adopted the Bylaw Enforcement Notification (BEN) bylaw in 2017 to simplify bylaw enforcement through an adjudication process outside the court system. The bylaw allows for fines to be reduced to zero upon compliance and involves a two-step adjudication process including mediation. The bylaw has been adopted on eight other islands without public backlash.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
