Defend Salt Spring’s Growth Limits
Positively Forward petition to the elected Trustees on the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee
Salt Spring’s Trustees are currently considering proposed major changes to our Official Community Plan (OCP) and Land Use Bylaw (LUB/zoning bylaw) that are unnecessary and unsustainable. This “major amendment” project, which will have long-term consequences for the whole island, is being pushed ahead, with limited public discussion of the issues and no emphasis on environmental protection as required by the Islands Trust Act.
Please read and sign our petition in support of current growth limits.
Note: Donations to Positively Forward can be sent via e-transfer to info[at]positivelyforward.ca (Donations made through the petition go to change.org)
