I support ERO 019-8289 and the extension of the cottage leases in Rondeau Park until at least 2038, allowing cottages to remain in the park, as they have been for over 100 years.

This will provide time while long-term, sustainable, environmentally friendly, and economically positive solution to the cottage lease situation can be finally worked out as promised in ERO011-1300 prior to the epidemic.

I would expect that the future fees and taxes levied by the Province will be fair, reasonable and equitable. The charges should not be punitive and and veiled effort to drive the cottagers out of Rondeau.

Rondeau was founded as a place where the unique environment could be preserved and as a place where cottagers could enjoy everything the Lake and the Bay have to offer. The community has long been an important part of the economic and social fabric of The Chatham Kent area. It should remain so for the foreseeable future.
