The Clayoquot Biosphere Trust came up for a little RCMP attention this month when their routine board meeting turned ugly. “Things seemed to be going well,” said CBT director Stanley “Kowalski” Boyhunk, when a discussion broke out over whether the caviar and champagne, routinely supplied at CBT meetings, were up to scratch. “Then they got into whether the cigars were genuine Cuban or not, and it just went downhill from there.”
“The debate was split along the usual factions,” said CBT glorified secretary Craig Passingthru. “A tom-ay-to/tom-ah-to, suspenders vs. belt, yo-mama-wears-army-boots sort of thing.”
Replacement of broken chairs, tables and state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, along with repairs to the facility walls and bail bond expenses, are expected to cut significantly into the CBT’s trust fund revenue this year, making for cutbacks in the number of exclusive luxury retreats the board can send itself on.
Below, board members at the meeting look on as directors Tim Webfoot and Don McMilligan agree to disagree on some fine points of policy.
