The island trust has taken it upon itself to regulate every aspect of island life. I us d to live in a strata condo and they were far less restrictive on what you could do. Soon this will amount to please island trust can I plant a tomato on my own property. This is unacceptable and n Ed to be looked at again.
Islands trust is killling the economy of the gulf islands. People. Are having their businesses shut down. If you are a friend of the trust you get what you want, if not you are shut down. There is not a fair and equal application of the law. I believe there are kickbacks, payoffs to the trust for favors done. Very corrupt.
Galiano here. They blocked my building permit for two years even though it met all the bylaws. Cost me a fortune. This org is out of control and needs a total overhaul.
Salt Spring needs a change. The trust is just a bunch of unelected bureaucrats telling us how to live on our own land. Get rid of the red tape already.
WAY TOO MUCH POWER. THEY JUST DO WHATEVER THEY WANT.

I agree that Island Trust is trying to do a number of things that we did not elect them to do!
