Permitted Use Policy Amendment (aka “phase out”)

December 20, 2010

Purpose of Amendment

This amendment provides direction for certain permitted uses in some parks (aka “phase out”). The amendment (Table 1) amends policy in Ontario Provincial Parks: Planning and Management Policies (1992) and Ontario’s Living Legacy Land Use Strategy (1999) as a result of policy changes approved on December 20, 2010.

Background to Amendment

Phase out policy was established in 1989. It set a deadline to phase out certain activities in some parks within a 21 year period (i.e. December 31, 2009). The activities are private tenure (e.g. recreation camps and agriculture, but not including cottage leases in Rondeau and Algonquin provincial parks), and commercial harvesting (e.g. trapping, bait harvesting, commercial fishing and wild rice harvesting). Changes to the policy were approved in December 2010 following consultation on a proposal to grant a lifetime extension. There are no commercial fishing and wild rice harvesting affected by the policy.

The proposed changes were available for comment from November 2 until December 14, 2009. Consultation included notification through a policy proposal posting on the Environmental Registry, a background information document posted on the Ontario Parks website and a broad mail-out. A total of 132 submissions were received and input was mixed. Some respondents expressed support, many stating that the lifetime extension does not go far enough (i.e. activities should be permitted to continue indefinitely). Some respondents expressed opposition to the lifetime extension, many stating that the activities are incompatible with protected areas legislation and the principle of ecological integrity, and that the rationale for changing the policy was not evident. There was also criticism for waiting until the end of 2009 to initiate consultation. Not all responses were unique. Minor changes were made to the policy, generally to provide clarity.

The following table (Table 1: Consolidated “2010 Phase Out” Park Policy) is the approved policy direction and amends direction in Ontario Provincial Parks: Planning and Management Policies (1992 Update) and Ontario’s Living Legacy Land Use Strategy (1999). The amendment should be read as a supplement or insert to the planning and management policies document and the strategy.

Table 1: Consolidated “2010 Phase Out” Park Policy

Amendments to park policy for private tenure (private recreation camps and agriculture) and commercial harvesting (trapping, bait harvesting and commercial fishing) in certain parks (aka phase out) were approved on December 20, 2010. Changes included a lifetime extension for licence/permit holders due to expire by 2010, with some exceptions. Under this policy, the lifetime extension applies to the permit/licence holder on October 30, 2009 for as long as that person is alive. Where there is concern for park values or ecological integrity opportunities to mitigate potential impacts will be explored. Transfers are not permitted.
