INCORPORATION STUDY
Islanders voice incorporation fears Weapons thieves First town hall session addresses development, farming and the Trust D R I F T W O O D S TA F F
Michael Craig, Derek Hill, Linda Lee and Norbert Schlenker and a fifth position left vacant since the March 2016 resignation of former trustee Andrew Hildebrand. Two of the contested positions will expire at the fire district’s April 2017 AGM. Another pair will be elected to serve until the 2018 AGM, and a fifth trustee will be elected for a threeyear term.
RCMP are still on the hunt for two suspects alleged to have stolen a vehicle and weapons from the Long Harbour ferry terminal on Tuesday, Nov. 1. “Anytime that firearms fall into the wrong hands, it is of concern to police,” said Cpl. Darren Lagan of the Salt Spring RCMP detachment. Lagan said police suspect the man and woman entered six unattended vehicles at the Long Harbour terminal at around 7 p.m. A 2015 F150 pickup truck was stolen from the lot and recovered by police at the Fulford ferry terminal on Wednesday morning. The suspects travelled to Tsawwassen via Swartz Bay on Tuesday night. Video surveillance footage shows the couple transporting a black plastic case, which police believe contains a compound bow and 24 arrows as well as a .22-caliber rifle. Police suspect the weapons were stolen from the truck. No ammunition is believed to have been taken, according to police.

Another was held Tuesday afternoon and the final one is on Sunday, Nov. 20, again at the middle school gymnasium.
Province mandates fire by-election The late-October resignations of four Salt Spring Fire Protection District trustees has prompted the provincial government to order a by-election to fill the vacancies before Feb. 15, 2017.

In a letter sent to fire district corporate administrator Andrew Peat on Friday, the provincial inspector of municipalities stated she’s officially appointed Thomas Moore as election returning officer and ordered that costs of the by-election be covered by the SSFPD. The date, time and location of the by-election will be confirmed by the election officer, Tara Faganello said. Voters will head to the polls to fill four vacancies created by the recent resignations of

About 150 islanders got their first real chance to delve into the findings of the Salt Spring Incorporation Study Committee’s highly anticipated final report during a Monday evening town hall event at Salt Spring Island Middle School. “The purpose tonight is to disseminate the findings of the report and hear from you,” said James Klukas, a planning consultant with Urban Systems who co-authored the report, during the introduction to the Nov. 7 meeting. “Ultimately this is your choice as a community.” About 15 people from the crowd asked questions about incorporation’s implications on road costs, environmental protection and development, the future of the Islands Trust and local decision making, among other topics. The event was the first of three town halls for islanders to learn about and discuss the committee’s report. A second meeting was held in Fulford on Tuesday afternoon. The third town hall takes place on Sunday, Nov. 20 between 1 and 4:30 p.m. at the middle school.
