Chief Administrative OfficerTHE ORGANIZATION: ISLANDS TRUST COUNCILLocated in Coast Salish territory, the Islands Trust is a special purpose local government charged with a statutory mandate to preserve and protect the Islands Trust Area and its unique amenities and environment. Home to over 30,000 people, the Islands Trust Area is comprised of 13 local trust areas (LTAs) that encompass more than 450 islands and their surrounding waters in the southern Strait of Georgia and Howe Sound.Created by the Province in 1974, the Islands Trust plans and regulates local land use in the Islands Trust Area and coordinates with other levels of government and First Nations on key issues. The organization s principal responsibility is the establishment and administration of official community plans and land use bylaws. Through the Islands Trust Conservancy (a separate body with its own mandate), the organization protects the environmental integrity of donated lands for the benefit of future generations.The Islands Trust has a federated governance structure. Every four years, each of 13 LTAs elects two trustees who, with a member of the Executive Committee, form a Local Trust Committee (LTC), responsible for land use planning in their LTA. Collectively, the 26 elected trustees constitute the Trust Council, the body responsible for making budgetary and policy decisions for the Islands Trust. During each term, Trust Council elects an Executive Committee, which directs staff in carrying out the day-to-day work of Islands Trust. In addition, trustees form four standing committees: Finance, Regional Planning, Trust Programs, and Governance.Islands Trust respectfully acknowledges that the lands and waters that encompass the Islands Trust Area have been home to Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial.
