In response to ERO 019-8289, I am in full support of amending the Rondeau Park Management Plan to allow cottages to remain within the park until at least 2038. Since its establishment in 1894, the Rondeau Park charter has emphasized the cottage community as a core element, and this continues to shape the park’s distinct character and charm.

Moving forward, any lease extensions must include equitable and practical terms. It is important that these terms do not serve as a barrier but instead support the longevity of the cottage community. Collaborating with the Rondeau Cottagers Association will be key in ensuring lease terms align with community needs.

Finally, the cottage community is still awaiting the long-term solution promised in ERO 011-1300, posted in December 2019. The park community looks forward to these critical discussions on sustainable, long-term occupancy solutions.
