Land, Water and Resource Stewardship Minister Josie Osborne is facing conflict-of- interest allegations after she approved a $15 million grant to the non-profit group that purchased her husband’s investment property. Osborne in April awarded a $15 million stewardship fund to the MakeWay Charitable Society, formerly known as Tides Canada, to co-ordinate watershed restoration projects led or co-led by First Nations. Osborne’s husband, George Patterson, sold the Tofino Botanical Gardens to the MakeWay Charitable Society for $2.3 million on Sept. 17, 2021, according to land title documents. The 12.128 acre waterfront property on the Pacific Rim Highway was initially listed for $3.75 million. The B.C. Liberals have asked conflict-of-interest commissioner Victoria Gray to look into whether there’s any conflict.
