The Islands Trust Council believes that open, consultative public participation is vital to effective decision-making, both now and down the road. Engagement and feedback helps!
Surveys and polls are one of the ways Islands Trust and Islands Trust Conservancy engage with the public. Trust Council, local trust committees and Islands Trust Conservancy also undertake separate engagements with First Nations.
