Islands Trust
The Islands Trust is a federation of local governments on the islands in the southern Strait of Georgia, Howe Sound and Haro Strait in British Columbia. It was established by, and is operated under, the Islands Trust Act, enacted by the Government of British Columbia in 1974. The goal of the Islands Trust is to "preserve and protect the Trust Area and its unique amenities and environment for the benefit of the residents of the Trust Area and of British Columbia".[1]
The Gulf Islands of the Straight of Georgia are under the jurisdiction of the Islands Trust.
The Islands Trust is subdivided into various local trust committees that manage their respective islands and any minor islands surrounding them.[2]
