I do not support the cottage lot renewal.

Rondeau Provincial Park is one of the last remaining parcels of land protecting the precious Carolinian ecosystem as much of this ecosystem has been lost and fragmented due to land use development.

Rondeau hosts many rare species that cannot be found elsewhere in Canada as well as sensitive habitats that the cottages encroach on, most notably the dune habitat next to the lake.

Driving through the park one can observe items on cottages that pollute the environment and disrupt the natural processes of the park and place a large ecological footprint on the surrounding habitat.

There has been a time and place for cottages but now with our dwindling habitats and climate crisis, it is my opinion that the cottages no longer have a place at Rondeau.
