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. The original 1894 Park charter describes the cottage community as one of the two reasons the Park was created and the Heritage Cottage Community has been integral to the park since its very inception.
As a Rondeau park caregiver for over 20 years I have seen park staff come and go, but many of the parks cottage owners are still there. They see the park as a special home/place that is a part of them, NOT just an employee job or a stepping stone for another position in the park services. This means that the park cottages feel more invested in keeping the park clean and beautiful throughout generations.
