Algonquin Park Cottage Property Lease Expiry

[OldTimer]

Hey,

Here’s a current event topic of interest to Ontario anglers.

326 cottage property leases WITHIN Algonquin Park are ALL up for a 21 year renewal in 2017.

Some of these leases have been around for almost a century.

IMHO – ending the leases now corrects past mistakes and can only lead to improvement. The owners association there claims “minimal impact” from their presence………….OK – but this is still positive impact, not zero impact. And, yes – it is most likely quite upsetting to the 326 owners to be asked to vacate in a few years, …………however the other 13.51 million Ontario residents and their off spring should be considered.

If leases are extended – why aren’t the 13.51 million of the rest us offered one?.. … but I do suppose that there wouldn’t be much park left if we all got one….. grin

The original lease owners (many decades ago and now deceased) knew quite well that the leases had an expiry date – plus the price was probably a pittance - both then and now, …… a deal is a deal - from start to finish.

This is not a cancellation – it was contractually agreed expiry approved by BOTH parties.

This move makes sense to me in all regards. …………. Here’s your hat, what’s your hurry…………..so long. Our great- grandchildren will thanks us for stopping this.

BTW – most likely Ontario citizens will have a chance to speak up regarding this over the next while as the last public consultation has expired (in 2012).

Whaddya think?

Cheers,
