Honestly, I’m all for the…

Honestly, I’m all for the proposal in ERO 019-8289 to update the Rondeau Park Management Plan. Cottages have been part of the park since 1894, and my family’s been here for three generations. It’s more than just a summer spot for us—it’s a place filled with memories and tradition. I really believe these cottages should stay until at least 2038. They’re part of the park’s identity now.

That said, any new leases or extensions need to be reasonable and fair. We can’t have terms that make it impossible for families like mine to stay. The Rondeau Cottagers Association should definitely have a seat at the table. We’ve been part of this community for decades, so it only makes sense that we’re involved in the decisions about our cottages' future.

Back in 2019, after ERO 011-1300, we were told there’d be discussions about a long-term solution soon. But now it’s 2024, and we’re still waiting! We’re ready and eager to figure out a way to keep our community going strong for the next generation.
