I support the proposal in ERO 019-8289 to amend the Rondeau Park Management Plan, allowing cottages to remain in the park until at least 2038. The 1894 Park charter highlights the cottage community as a key reason for the park's creation, and it has been an essential part of the park's heritage from the beginning.

New leases or extensions should have fair terms and conditions, not aimed at forcing evictions through unreasonable costs. The development of these agreements must involve consultation with the Rondeau Cottagers Association.

The decision for ERO 011-1300, posted on December 20, 2019, promised a new proposal for long-term cottage tenure, with plans to consult and post it in early 2020. The cottage community is still waiting for this proposal and looks forward to working together on a lasting solution.

Thank you for your consideration.
