I am writing in support of the proposal in ERO 019-8289, which seeks to amend the Rondeau Park Management Plan to allow cottages to remain within the park until at least 2038. The 1894 Park charter underscores the cottage community as a founding element, contributing to the park’s unique heritage and recreational identity since its beginning.

In considering this proposal, I urge that any new leases or extensions reflect reasonable, fair terms that foster the sustainability of the cottage community. It is essential these terms are formed in collaboration with the Rondeau Cottagers Association, ensuring they honor the spirit of the park's legacy and are not financially restrictive.

The statement for ERO 011-1300 on December 20, 2019, held a promise for a “new option for long-term occupation.” With the community eager to discuss sustainable, long-term tenure options, I look forward to the proposal anticipated in 2020 and encourage its timely development.
