Fuck you! I pay my local taxes and I will go the my cottage whenever I want. It's the best place to isolate. I will of course be mindful of the food supply chain and bring up all the food necessary for my length of stay. Rest assured that if I get sick, the last place I will want to be is at the bullshit hospital in South Muskoka. I will drive the 2 hours back to the city for proper care....so fuck off. :mad:

I feel much better after that. :happy:

LOL!

Good for you. I have relatives up in Muskoka and they were telling me that cottagers are coming up in fear of COVID19. They laughed and said that if they were in serious condition they wished they would have stayed in the city and avoided the South Muskoka hospital!

Seriously, fuck 'em. They should be grateful some cottagers are spending coin and keeping the local economy going.

I be ok if you went but signed an agreement that all CONVID care is banned to you for the duration. Then that would be fair - free country with consequences. It be a gamble which would be better.

I agree . If I had a cottage I'd be there right now . Of course I'd bring all of the supplies that I needed . What better place to isolate yourself . You can go outside and take care of your property without meeting some one . Try that living in an apartment or a condo . Imagine all the people that you meet going up and down the elevator . Try doing laundry living in an apartment if you don't have your own washer and dryer .

Go outside and stretch your legs and get some fresh air with out fear of meeting someone . Why would you want to be stuck in a city with millions of people .

Yes you are right about taxes . Will the municipality cut your taxes if you don't visit your cottage . Will hydro not charge you a monthly fee like they do now for not being there . Not likely .

You paid for that property so go and use it . Just be safe and smart .
 
I wrote this on another thread weeks ago but heading North for the summer should be encouraged

It will reduce the population in Toronto making social distancing easier

At the same time most cottages are well spaced. Another bonus when it comes to social distancing


If you have a cottage go enjoy them. Hopefully by then the agencies will have reopened so it will be easy for me to see the girls I want to see :)

Using your own logic, we should stop all non GTA residents who enter the area and require them

BTW, anyone who thinks that there have been no visitors from cottage country needs to give their head a shake. And when they have a health issue that requires them to be transported to a major Toronto area facility, they will, of course, decline the option, given that they are committed to halting travel between the two areas. What a joke...

I've heard of such official cottage restrictions in some states. Has Ontario declared such a restriction?

No; other Doug Ford encouraging people not to open their cottages; there is no restriction on movement within the Province.
 
As farq says, no official restrictions. Some cottage areas are blocking off all the public and private boat launch areas so people cannot get their boats in the water. Some stores have bare shelves and my local friends who live up there full time tell me it’s not cottagers causing empty shelves, it’s locals hoarding.

I am heading up for 10 days and will be taking all the food needed for my stay...I will however have to hit the LCBO trailer at some point to replenish the wine and beer. :encouragement:

Enjoy and have fun . I wonder how the locals would feel if the summer cottage season was a bust and nobody came up .

If I had a cottage I would be there right now . Wouldn't give rats ass what any local had to say . They forget that your property taxes help maintain their municipalities .
 
My bro in law rents out cottages,has for years. NOBODY has signed up this year.He is usually fully booked for the summer now. Going to be a rough summer for cottage towns,trailer parks etc.
 
Where my land is, the locals are obviously asking non-locals to avoid coming up.
The unceded reserve has set up roadblocks, but fortunately I do not have to cross that area to get to my land.
The other reserves have set up checkpoints, but they cannot refuse travel through them.

I've got a lot to do up there this summer.
When I do go up, I will more than likely end up camping on my land, and make sure I take everything I need.
Kinda a shame, as I want to get to know the locals, but that can wait I guess.
 
I understand the concern about infected people needing hospitalisation after getting to cottage country putting a strain on the medical resources but otherwise there shouldn't be a problem.

I also think that unless the Province includes it under the Emergency bill, I can't see it being legal for a township to ban property owners.

They can't.
I know that some trailer parks and cottage resorts in my area have restricted access... but those lands are leased, so they legally can restrict access to leasees.
If you own the land, that is a different story.

Keep in mind though, it isn't just if you get infected while you are in cottage country.
What if you get into a car accident? That requires first responders to attend to you.
What if your car breaks down? That requires a resource to respond to you.
I get where they are coming from, and I don't want to piss off the locals who will be my neighbours... but I have shit to get done and I really don't want to wait an entire year to get it done.
 
The thought of urbanites heading to their cottages for peaceful shelter , and some R&R , runs counter to the Reality of the average cottaging weekend , finding imbeciles on all forms of land and water motorized toys , ripping around , causing mayhem , endangering their lives and the lives of others. The average cottage weekend in southern Ontario is a shitshow of commotion, noise and chaos , deaths , unruly drunkards ,and emergency room visits by urban moronic clowns . It’s no wonder the locals want them to remain home. Kevin OLeary, please stay home

While some of that certainly happens, especially on the overcrowded big three lakes in Muskoka, it is far less prevalent on the smaller less populated lakes. I’m all for shutting down the waterways to powered boats until this is over. Any cottage owner will tell you the majority of what you have described is caused by cottage renters, not cottage owners. It can be like the adult version of Spring Break in the mid summer months.
 
Muskoka now has banned all open fires. Not because the ground cover is too dry but rather to protect its volunteer firefighters (physical distancing, etc.)

Northern Ontario has had a complete fire ban for about 3 to 4 weeks already.
