Monsieur Francois Thériault’s article on the “Proposed Reform of the Islands Trust” misses the mark on a number of points. I’m not aware of how long he has been a resident of Salt Spring, however, he apparently has a fair amount to learn about the Islands Trust. (a) a Trustee legally does not need to live within the Local Trust Area they represent…even prior to, and including running for, an election. The Trust is a provincial act…anyone in the Province can run for election for a Trustee position.
