Ownership & transparency
A private political project, plainly identified.
Denman Town was built privately and is maintained privately by Tony Aly, a vibe coder who lives on Denman Island. It is not operated by government, the Islands Trust, the CVRD, the Denman Island Residents Association, or any other community organization. It does not claim official community endorsement.
Purpose and funding
The project advocates for a provincially supported, independently prepared governance or restructure study—not a predetermined decision to incorporate. It is currently funded privately by Tony Aly. Any material donation, organizational sponsor, or paid campaign activity will be disclosed here before it is used.
How claims are handled
Factual claims should link to primary sources near the claim and include a last-checked date where practical. Projections, comparisons, and opinions are identified as analysis rather than official findings. A source being collected does not mean it has been independently verified.
Corrections
Corrections are welcomed at corrections@denmantown.org. Please include the page, disputed wording, and a primary source when available. Material corrections will be dated and described on this page.

Personal-interest disclosure
Tony Aly is involved with Camp Denman, also known as Elkhaven and Elk Haven, on Denman Island. He has a personal interest in land-use and bylaw-enforcement matters affecting that site. That relationship is disclosed wherever these projects discuss Camp Denman, Elkhaven, or any public-record file about the site.
How the five live properties fit together
All five are up. They are Tony Aly’s private projects, not a federation of local chapters or official island campaigns.
- landintelligence.co — data spine: cited parcel records across 17 BC areas.
- denmanisland.co — everyday Denman utility: ferries, directory, parcel map, Land Use Bylaw 186.
- denmantown.org — this site: the Denman governance-study campaign, case, path, history, sources, and petition.
- abolishislandstrust.org — the Trust-wide campaign: island pages, archive, and case essays.
- Hornby, Gabriola, Salt Spring, and the other island-town domains — live per-island templates. A domain is not a local campaign; organizing stays closed until at least three verified local stewards take it on.
Election-period activity
This site will not buy or boost election advertising until its legal status, sponsor identity, authorization wording, accounts, and reporting obligations have been confirmed with Elections BC. Organic publication here does not make this an official candidate or independent local chapter.
