Thank you for developing…

Thank you for developing this regulation, needed to protect waterways and property owners while encouraging recreational uses of public spaces. I am, however, very concerned about three details included in the previous draft developed by MNRF and modified or deleted in the updated proposal. I respectfully ask that the regulation:

1. limit the number of days that a person can camp on water over public land (per location, per calendar year) to 7 days (instead of 21 as per the updated proposal).

2. set the distance that a person camping on water must move their camping unit to be occupying a different location to 1 kilometre (instead of 100 m as per the updated proposal)

3. include the new condition to prohibit camping on water within 300 metres of a developed shoreline, including any waterfront structure, dock, boathouse, erosion control structure, altered shoreline, boat launch and/or fill. (a condition deleted from the updated proposal).

Thank you.
