I support the proposals to amend Ontario Regulation 161/17 (O. Reg. 161/17) under the Public Lands Act
described in ERO 019-6590 posted by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry on February 24,
2023. The key proposed amendments relating to camping on water over public lands will reduce the
environmental and social impacts of floating accommodations and long camping stays and help to ensure
that floating accommodation units can be appropriately regulated to:
Reduce the potential environmental impacts, such as disposal of black/grey water and garbage, and
lower the spread of plastics pollution from the use of unencapsulated dock foam for flotation
Reduce the safety issues for those on board these units, which have poor navigability and are unstable
in high winds/waves
Keep these floating accommodation units safely moored at shoreline locations, where they can benefit
from services such as water, sewage, hydro and garbage disposal
