News - Cottage Country

The province will pause increases to land rents for cottages in Manitoba’s provincial parks but will continue to phase in increases to park district service fees to ensure cottage owners pay the full cost of actual services received.

Applications are now being accepted for a June 30 cottage lot draw that offers Manitoba families a piece of cottage country along Lake Winnipeg.

Proposed legislation that would support cottaging opportunities for Manitoba families with a new tax deferral program was introduced by Finance Minister Rosann Wowchuk.

Over 60 Manitobans took the opportunity on Monday October 26, 2009, to purchase or lease unclaimed cottage lots from previous draws on a first-come, first-served basis, Conservation Minister Stan Struthers announced.
