Islands Trust Budget and Governance Reform Suggestions

governance · 2022 · Islands Trust

An opinion piece suggests cost-saving measures for the Islands Trust 2022/23 budget including moratoriums on new hires and sponsorships, scaling back projects, limiting staff attendance at meetings, and increasing development application fees. It also recommends increasing the number of elected trustees and improving community engagement through Trust café sessions.

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.
