I support the proposal in ERO 019-8289 to amend the Rondeau Park Management Plan to allow cottages to remain in Rondeau Park until at least 2038. Nevertheless, new leases or extensions as part of this initiative must have reasonable terms and conditions and not be driven to achieve eviction by punitive economic terms. New lease agreements must be developed in consultation with the Rondeau Cottagers Association.

The Ministry needs to be mindful of ERO 011-1300 posted on December 20, 2019 (after more than nine years of deliberation) 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." This long term proposal is still outstanding and the ERO 019-8289 proposal does not supplant or replace the ERO 011-1300 final decision.
