I am commenting in support of ERO 019-8289.

ERO 019-8289 - I support this proposal to amend the Rondeau Park Management Plan to allow cottages to remain in Rondeau Park until at least 2038. According to the original 1894 Park charter, the cottage community is one of the two reasons the Park was created. The Heritage Cottage Community has been integral to the park since the beginning.

Extensions and new leases must have reasonable terms and conditions and not be driven to achieve eviction by punitive economic terms. New lease agreements must be developed in consultation with the Rondeau Cottagers Association.

The decision for ERO 011-1300 posted in 2019 stated that “Our final policy decision respecting this proposal will allow us to consult on a proposal for a new option for the long-term occupation of cottage lots. We expect to post a new proposal on the Environmental Registry of Ontario early in 2020”. The cottage community awaits this outstanding proposal and the need to have discussions to develop the long-term cottage tenure solution.
