Algonquin Provincial Park Cottage Lot 2022 Occupational Authority Application Fact Sheet

Context


As identified in the Algonquin Provincial Park Cottage Lot Policy (2018 – 2038), existing Algonquin cottagers may be granted occupational authority (e.g., lease, licence of occupation) to extend their term of occupation for their cottage lots to December 31, 2038 (i.e. an additional 21 years), subject to eligibility requirements, policies, limits and conditions, including new rents and service fees. This opportunity will be offered in two steps:


Step 1: Occupational authority for the period of January 1, 2018 up to December 31, 2022 (“2022 occupational authority”): 

  • This step provides time for holders of occupational authority (“cottagers”) to implement all of the eligibility requirements, and for the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) to audit each cottage lot to confirm that all such eligibility requirements have been met.

Step 2: Occupational authority to December 31, 2038 (“2038 occupational authority”):

  • This step would be available to cottagers who meet all eligibility requirements to the satisfaction of MNRF.
