Islands Trust Policy Statement

"The purpose of the Policy Statement is to express a vision for the future of the Trust Area and to translate that vision into policies of Trust Council. The Trust Statement articulates, through goals and policies, how the Islands Trust will satisfy its legislated object.

"The Policy Statement provides broad policy guidelines for Trust Council, the Trust Fund Board and the Islands Trust's 14 Local Trust Committees regarding the management of development and the preservation and protection of the Trust Area. The positions and philosophy of Trust Council contained in the Policy Statement also constitute a policy framework for reference by the public and other agencies such as the regional districts of the Trust Area, the Province, and its agencies.

The Policy Statement is not retroactive and does not affect bylaws of local trust committees or municipalities which were in place prior to adoption of the Policy Statement."
