Eligibility Fact Sheet Algonquin Cottage Program

The Algonquin Provincial Park Cottage Lot Policy (2018-2038) (referred to as the cottage lot policy in this fact sheet) outlines a number of eligibility requirements that cottagers must meet in order to be eligible for 2038 occupational authority. For clarity, these requirements must be met for cottagers to be able to keep their cottage lots for the time period of 2023-2038. The only requirements that cottages must meet for the term of 2018-2022 are that cottagers must submit a complete application package not later than March 31, 2017, and must not be in arrears for any payments or debts related to their cottage lot including rent, service fees or taxes.

This fact sheet will focus on the eligibility requirements that cottagers must meet to obtain 2038 occupational authority. All of the eligibility requirements are listed within this fact sheet along with a more detailed explanation of the requirement and/or a link to a more detailed fact sheet on that specific eligibility requirement. Cottagers who have questions about the eligibility requirements specific to their cottage lot can contact the cottage lot program at Algonquin.cottages@ontario.ca or at 705-645-7436. During the summers of 2017 and 2018 The Ministry cottage lot liaison staff are planning to visit cottage lots to discuss eligibility requirements with cottagers and answer any questions that you may have.
