I am writing to support the amendment the Rondeau Park Management Plan (ERO 019-8289). Our family has enjoyed spending time at Rondeau in a cottage since the 1980s. As such, a lease extension would allow us to continue to visit Chatham-Kent and Rondeau Park.

In addition to our personal reasons for supporting a lease extension, I would like to bring up that Rondeau has forever been a place where people came to play and enjoy the outdoors. I believe it was created as a recreational park, originally.

Also, I would like to suggest that the lease holders be talked to when the leases are being negotiated. It would be great to make sure that the leases are fair and allow the cottagers to use the cottages for a long period of time without having to worry about the lease expiring.

Finally, it would be great if we could find a way to no longer have leases and permanently own the cottage and land. Back in 2019, there was people talking about doing this and I hope the government can continue to look into this.

Thanks
