Archived material: Cape Roger Curtis Trust Society

The Cape Roger Curtis Trust Society was formed out of the Conservancy in November 2002, for the purpose of preserving and protecting as much as possible of the Cape Roger Curtis lands as parkland. It was formally incorporated under the British Columbia Society Act on January 13, 2003.

On August 27, 2004, Cape Roger Curtis was purchased by the Cape Roger Curtis Joint Venture (now known as The Cape on Bowen Community Development Ltd.). The original single lot of 631 acres was eventually subdivided into 10 acre parcels. By the Fall of 2011, a substantial amount of infrastructure had been built, and several of the 19 lots in the Phase I development had been sold.

At its Annual General Meeting on May 21, 2011 (after much debate about what possible future role it might have), the Board and membership of the Cape Roger Curtis Trust Society voted to formally dissolve. Since the Trust Society website contained a wealth of material on the Cape, the Bowen Island Conservancy agreed to incorporate the majority of pages into this website in order to preserve this valuable source of information and background, for use in future conservation issues.
