August 13, 2002

Honourable Jerry Ouellette
Minister of Natural Resources
Whitney Block, 11^th Floor
80 Grosvenor St.
Toronto, ON

Dear Sir:

I am writting to you on behalf of the cottagers from Wolf Lake, a lake located in the heart of the proposed Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park.

The issues surrounding the establishment of the proposed park are of great concern to the cottagers on Wolf Lake. After significant debate within our cottage association, we agreed that, rather than take a position based on a majority vote, we would record and present the results of a referendum on the subject as input to your decision-making process.

Following, for your reference, are the tallied results from the referendum held in August, 2002. The referendum was distributed to 68 cottagers on the lake with 45respondents. Please refer to the attached ballot for the specific questions and responses.
 

Designation	No Buffer Zones	Buffer Zones (type unspecified)	Buffer Zones Designate General UseCrown Land and managed by MNR	Buffer Zones designated EMA and managed by MNR, local stakeholders and townships	Buffer Zones leased from the MNR by the townships and managed by MNR, local stakeholders and townships	Total
Provincial Park	14	-	2	10	1	27
Conservation Reserve	1	3	3	1	0	8
Unspecified Preference	-	6	2	0	2	10
Total	15	9	7	11	3	45

We have also encouraged the individual members of the cottage association to contact you directly to express their views.

On behalf of the cottagers on Wolf Lake, we would appreciate your consideration of the enclosed results as you formulate your policy.

Yours truly,

Dana Dvorak, President

Wolf Lake Cottagers Association
