Yes, we support the proposal in ERO 019-8289 to amend the Rondeau Park Management Plan to allow cottages to remain in Rondeau until at least 2038. The cottage community was one of the reasons that the park was established in 1894.

We add that a) new lease agreements should be developed in consultation with the Rondeau Cottagers Association, b) leases or extensions as part of this initiative must have reasonable terms and conditions and not use punitive economic terms to try to force eviction.

We go back to the decision of ERO-1300 posted on December 30, 2019 which stated: “Our final policy decision respecting this proposal will allow us to consult on a proposal for a new option for long-term occupation of Cottage lots. We expect to expect to post a new proposal on the Environmental Registry of Ontario early in 2020.” We are eager for those discussions to begin and lead to a long-term occupancy solution.
