Trust Council (the governing body of the Islands Trust) is re-writing its Trust Policy Statement (TPS). This document is critical because it regulates what bylaws and Official Community Plan provisions can be passed for individual islands.

The first draft of the rewritten (TPS) released in May can be found HERE.

Friends of the Gulf Islands is advocating for a Policy Statement that effectively protects the natural environment and rural character of the Trust Islands, as intended by the Islands Trust Act. Below is our correspondence to the Trust and others about this and other relevant documents.

We will also ask our members to speak up if need be. See the NEWSLETTERS section of this website for the latest information on this project.
