Federation of local governments on islands in British Columbia
The Southern Gulf Islands of the Strait of Georgia are under the jurisdiction of the Islands Trust. Other Islands in the Northern Strait of Georgia and Howe Sound are also part of Islands Trust.
The Islands Trust is a federation of local governments on the islands in the Strait of Georgia, Howe Sound and Haro Strait in British Columbia. It was established by, and is operated under, the Islands Trust Act, enacted by the Government of British Columbia in 1974. The goal of the Islands Trust is to "preserve and protect the Trust Area and its unique amenities and environment for the benefit of the residents of the Trust Area and of British Columbia".[1] The conservation arm, Islands Trust Conservancy, works to preserve and protect landscapes across the Trust Area. Through conservation covenants and nature reserves, the Conservancy protects over 110 properties totaling 1,375 hectares.
The Islands Trust is subdivided into various local trust areas, each responsible for land use planning and regulation for respective islands and nearby minor islands. The municipality of Bowen Island is also within the jurisdiction of the Islands Trust. Gambier Island Local Trust Committee does land use planning as well for Keats Island and for North Thormanby Island and South Thormanby Island.[2]
