Regarding ERO Notice ID 019-6142

The Rondeau cottage situation must be resolved now. A solution MUST be found for the PERMANENT occupancy of cottage lots.
The best way is a sale under Section 9(3) of the Provincial Parks & Conservation Reserves Act (2006), as directed by Minister Jeff Yurek.
Two previous short-term lease extensions were issued so we could talk about a long-term solution however Ontario Parks refused to follow the Minister’s orders. Here we are AGAIN.
We want assurance that Ontario Parks will actually meet with us this time.
Minister Jeff Yurek ordered a sale of the cottage lots to Chatham-Kent back in 2019. The process was started but, unfortunately, it was then obstructed and halted by Ontario Parks bureaucrats in 2022.
Ontario Parks has ignored both ERO 011-1300 and ERO-019-0907.
The online petition to end cottaging in Rondeau leaves out vital information. This information goes against the writer’s anti-cottaging narrative.
Ontario Parks are ignoring the best interests of the Municipality of Chatham-Kent.
The MNRF/MECP’s own studies have repeatedly proven the cottage community benefits the park’s ecology.
The lot sales take up 0.56% of Rondeau leaving 99.44% untouched.
