I support the proposal in ERO 019-8289 to amend the Rondeau Management Plan to allow cottages to remain in Rondeau Park until at least 2038. Rondeau Park was created with cottages as one of the two primary reasons. To this day, these heritage cottages form an integral part of the Rondeau Park allure. I believe that when this lease extension is granted, the terms must be in consultation with the cottagers via their association and they must be reasonable. The Ontario government of Doug Ford must not be known as the government driving eviction through punitive economic terms, of almost 300 families during a time when housing is on the front page of the news almost every day. While a lease extension to 2038 is welcome, I believe the government must engage with the cottagers through their representatives to develop a long term, permanent solution for this vibrant community in Southwest Ontario.
