The Riparian Area Regulations (that the Trust has been told to institute) are based on three reports assessing Lasqueti watersheds done by Madrone Environmental Services. The watersheds that they have deemed to be possibly fish-bearing are shown in a map at:

This map shows the RAR-applicable watersheds and property boundaries.

It is important that local residents and landowners read the reports and let our Lasqueti Trust Committee planner, Marnie Eggen, know about any inaccuracies or incompleteness in the reports of any of the watersheds. Good regulations can not be made if the information they are based on is incomplete or incorrect. This is our chance to make sure that the
information is accurate.
Please report any inaccuracies by sending an email to
lasqueti [at] islandstrust [dot] bc [dot] ca or mailing to 700 North Road,
Gabriola Island, B.C., V0R 1X3, or by phone at 250-247-2210. (You can phone toll-free 1-8--663-7867 and ask to be connected.)
