Minister of Housing Refuses Review of Islands Trust Act

governance · April 28, 2025 · Islands Trust Council

Minister Ravi Kahlon declined the Islands Trust Council's request for a review of the Islands Trust Act, governance, and structure, citing government focus on immediate priorities and budget constraints. The Minister emphasized the ecological mandate of the Trust and the need for careful public and First Nations engagement on bylaws and official community plans.

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.
