Islands Trust Open Letter - Residents of Southern Gulf Islands - March 23rd 2020

Dear Residents of Salt Spring and the Southern Gulf Islands,


We are living through unprecedented times. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a society-wide mobilization previously seen only in wartime. Public guidelines are being revised daily and the pace of change can feel overwhelming. It may be difficult to understand who is in charge and what is being done to keep our families and island communities safe.
