In 2020, the Islands Trust Council established a secretariat service to support coordination groups in the Islands Trust Area.
Through this program, Islands Trust offers administrative support to groups comprised of First Nations, organizations, and interested and affected parties that convene to share information and collaborate on policies for the preservation and protection of the Islands Trust Area and its unique amenities and environment.
For more information, read the Secretariat Services policy.
