Cottagers Forced to Leave

2007-01-29T15:44:00.000-05:00

In the "That's gotta suck" category:

Cottagers have until Wednesday to clear out after the land they have leased on the Bruce Peninsula for 40 years is returned to the Chippewas First Nation.

Some 68 cottagers on Hope Bay have until the mid-week deadline to pack up their belongings and vacate the cottages because the Chippewas aren't renewing the long-term lease.

Beer at the Cottage

2005-10-11T15:44:00.000-04:00

Beer at the cottage is about as common as beer at a bar. Just watch some Canadian beer commercials in the summer and you will know what I mean.

A good thing to try is to ask all guests to bring their beer in cans. Cans are much easier to take away from the cottage (back to the beer store for deposit) and they won't break. A broken beer bottle is more than a mess, it can be dangerous to those in barefeet. You will get some resistance from those who insist that beer in a bottle is better, but keep working on them.

Enjoy responsibly!

Disposable Stuff Not Allowed!

2005-10-11T15:36:00.000-04:00

When you're at the cottage or renting your cottage, make it a policy or cottage rule that no disposable cutlery, cups, plates, etc. are to be used.

Disposable items are a big waste. They make a lot more garbage that you ultimately have to lug to the curb or to the dump. Less of this means more fun time at the cottage.

Of course, this may not be easy to enforce when you are not therem but most will listen if you simply remind them. And be sure ot have an adequate supply of dishes and cups available.
