Regarding ERO 019-8289, I support the proposal for an amendment to the Rondeau Park Management Plan which will permit cottages to continue in Rondeau Park until at least 2038. It is important there be reasonable terms and conditions included in this process for new or extended leases, and that there be no excessive or punitive economic conditions included in such leases. The Rondeau Cottagers Association should be involved as an important consultation partner in all new lease agreements being developed.

Further to my support of ERO 019-8289, it is important to note that the cottage community is still eager to see the outstanding proposal related to the previous decision for ERO 011-1300 (2019) which stated that “Our final policy decision respecting this proposal will allow us to consult on a proposal for a new option for the long-term occupation of cottage lots. We expect to post a new proposal on the Environmental Registry of Ontario early in 2020”. Plans should be established soon for discussions to develop the long term cottage tenure solution.
