Note from Peter:

Copies of the proposed Bylaw 89 are available in the agenda packages for the August 28 Lasqueti Trust Committee (LTC) meeting, which are still posted in the usual places. It is also available at:   http://islandstrust.bc.ca/media/281486/LA-BL89-PROPOSED-Parking-as-Home-... The Lasqueti Island Land Use Bylaw, which would be amended if the LTC passes the proposed Bylaw, is available at   http://islandstrust.bc.ca/ltc/la/pdf/labylbaselu0078.pdf

The Public Hearing is a formal process in which the members of the LTC hear whether or not there is public support for the bylaw. Written submissions can be sent by fax, email or Canada Post.

You can talk to or write to one or more of your local trustees, or our chair, David Graham, or our planner, Marnie Eggen.
