I voice my full support for ERO 019-8289, which would allow cottages in Rondeau Park to remain through 2038. The cottage community has been a defining part of Rondeau’s charm since 1894, and preserving this heritage is essential to maintaining the park’s unique character and appeal.

I would like to emphasize the importance of fair lease terms in this process. These terms should be designed to sustain—not disrupt—the cottage community, avoiding punitive fees that would be counterproductive to Rondeau’s heritage preservation. Involving the Rondeau Cottagers Association in the lease discussions will help ensure these terms meet the needs of current residents.

The cottage community is also awaiting the proposal for long-term tenure that was referenced in ERO 011-1300 back in December 2019. Moving forward with this solution would greatly help to stabilize the community and give them the confidence to continue investing in the park.
