Islands Trust

Dear David Osborne: I have received and reviewed your letter of September 24th. After receipt of your letter, I contacted Peter Warburton and asked him for the information that had been referred to Islands Trust. He was able to provide a copy of the E-Referral system record and the recipient email addresses at Islands Trust. I was able to verify that the crown lease application was referred to Islands Trust on the 22nd of August 2019. I was also able to confirm that two Islands Trust email addresses received it.

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.
