Trust Council backs newspaper notice for public notifications
A bylaw amendment would require notices to appear in a publication circulating at least monthly in the Islands Trust Area.
The Denman Firestarter · Governance · 2026-09-09 · updated 2026-10-09 · Trust-wide: this decision binds every local trust area, so every island edition carries this report.
The amendment replaces a proposed social-media posting requirement with notice “in a publication that circulates at least monthly in the Islands Trust Area.” Trust Council passed the amendment and gave the bylaw three readings at its June quarterly meeting.[1]
The minutes record that trustees discussed newspaper notification versus using electronic methods exclusively before voting on the amendment.[1]
Trust Council also passed a motion stating that the notification methods in the amended draft bylaw are reliable, suitable and accessible for the Islands Trust Area.[1]
