Islands Trust

Hi folks, 

I thought it was important to send you a quick update on this weeks’ events surrounding the IT Trustee swearing-in… 

Day one was comprised of an orientation at the IT office in Victoria followed by being Officially sworn in that evening. 

The next day was focused on orientation for new Trustees and updating of those Trustees re-elected.

Yesterday was compromised of more orientation, the elections of the executive (x4) and IT Conservancy (x2) positions and then the being of the business the new ITC.  

Your Thetis Island Trustee, Peter Luckham was re-elected as the Exec Chair, along with Dan Rogers, Sue Ellen Fast, Laura Patrick, as Vice chairs. I was elected to IT Conservancy (1 of 2 elected), along with Kate–Louise Stamford. This will be a challenging term, but I am looking forward to facing them with what appears to me, to be a solid group of Trustees who have the object of the IT Act front and centre.

The afternoon began with a welcome from MLA Adam Olsen and MP Elizabeth May. The last activity for me was the Town Hall forum which had 5 members of public whom addressed the new ITC emphasizing their concerns and direction of the new ITC going forward. 

Thank you all again for your support and encouragement to pursue this opportunity to serve the residents of Thetis Island, and the greater Islands Trust.

Kind regards,

Doug Fenton
