Islands Trust Revising Policy Statement to Include Indigenous Relations, Climate Change, and Affordable Housing

governance · Islands Trust jurisdiction

The Islands Trust is revising its Policy Statement to include topics previously absent: indigenous relationships, climate change, and affordable housing. Working groups have been established, meeting biweekly, aiming to complete revisions within the current two-year term of trustees.

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.
