There is, as far as I can tell, very little, and possibly no opposition at all, to more public docks. Our OCP encourages community and neighbourhood docks. A private dock is privately owned and controlled, though occupying public waterfront space.

Northinfo [at] islandstrust [dot] bc [dot] ca (specifically Alan Cavin) has sent me a document with the combined responses to the private dock application. It is public information but not kept on the Trust website. There are 85 pages with over 60 submissions, with some repeats and some from more than one person. They were recieved in March and April last year.  I'm posting the document here.

This is written hastily. I'll polish it later, and probably add more.  I encourage you to read and consider, and to leave comments or questions. You can contact me directly at  pjohnston(at)lasqueti(dot)ca

From Dave Olsen's post to the Lasqueti email  Digest, Vol 158, Issue 35 (Dec 19):

     Last night, nobody denied anything except the non-existent "mass graves" which should   never have been announced in the first place.
