Re: ERO Notice ID 019-6142
To Whom this may concern
We are submitting this response as owners of a cottage in Rondeau Provincial Park.
We support the only solution for the permanent occupancy of the cottage lots, and a sale under Section 9(3) of the Provincial Parks & Conservation Reserves Act (2006) as directed by Minister Jeff Yurek.
Rondeau Provincial Park was chartered in 1894 specifically for the purpose of cottaging. Our cottage has been in our family for five (5) generations. We have enjoyed and respected the park and what it offers (children’s programs, community camp fires, nature walks with park guides, trails, biking, leisurely walks on the beach and swimming in Lake Erie).
The two prior EROs (011-1300 in 2010 and 019-0907 in 2019) did not follow the guidelines the province established. We expect that this third time the Ministry will follow their guidelines that they established and not be ignored by Ontario Parks.
We further feel that the sale to the Municipality of Chatham-Kent will provide much needed funding to the Ministry for their exclusive use. The subsequence sale to the cottage owners by the Municipality will ensure the cottage owners are able to invest into their cottages thus creating jobs for the local economy.
Respectfully yours,
