  • All cottage leases will be terminated on or before December 31, 2017.
  • There is no provision for renewal.
  • The Park Superintendent is required to ensure that all lessees comply with the terms of their leases, particularly in obtaining authorization from the Superintendent for any construction, clearing or shoreline work.
  • All cottage lot development is controlled by the Construction and Development Standards: Algonquin Park Cottage Leaseholds (Appendix A).
  • The standards may be revised to address new environmental concerns or development restrictions.”

(b) Replacing the foregoing deleted text with the following:

“As of 2016, the 303 private non-commercial cottage lots in the park may continue until December 31, 2038 subject to eligibility requirements, policies, limits, conditions and standards in the Algonquin Provincial Park Cottage Lot Policy (2018-2038).
