Jamie Harris is a tree faller who created a website called Stop the Islands Trust, which he says is controlled by ‘eco-radicals’

A new trustee elected to represent Salt Spring Island on the Islands Trust Council is a tree faller who created a website called Stop the Islands Trust.

Incumbent trustee Laura Patrick, who has a background in environmental management and has already served one term as a trustee, was also elected, receiving 1,441 votes. Patrick was not available for comment. Harris said there is potential for forestry management on the island’s conservancy land — something he said could reduce wildfire risk and create economic opportunity.

In urging people to vote, Harris wrote: “The ability of all ­islanders from construction workers to mechanics, trades people of all kinds to put food on the table and pay the bills depends on us all.” The foundation supporting Salt Spring’s Lady Minto Hospital recently purchased a former motel for $4 million to provide employee rental housing in order to attract badly needed staff.

Luckham said British ­Columbians expect that the Gulf Islands will be protected for their natural beauty and “­delicate ecosystems,” emphasizing they are not urban centres with apartments and high rises.In 2021, the Trust’s policy statement — a foundational document guided by the Islands Trust Act — was at the centre of a months-long consultation and review process that ended with Luckham asking for a provincial review of the Trust’s mandate, governance and structure.
