Islands Trust Meeting on Short Term Vacation Rentals Held

governance · March 2023 · Online (Zoom)

An Islands Trust meeting was held via Zoom with over 100 participants to discuss short term vacation rentals (STVRs) on Hornby Island. Three options were presented regarding STVR regulation, including no change, comprehensive change with restrictions, and complete prohibition. The meeting featured respectful discussion but no consensus was reached.

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.
