Land Acknowledgement

It is important to begin each public gathering with a Land and Territorial Acknowledgement, to recognize the Indigenous people for being good stewards of the land and environment, here where we are meeting today. The Township of Brock has traditionally been a hunting and fishing ground for First Nations people. We reside on and benefit from the Williams Treaty Territories, on the land of the Mississaugas and Chippewas. May we share the land as long as the sun rises, the grass grows and river flows.

6.7.2

Report 2022-GG-007, Short-Term Rentals and Proposed By-laws

Don Dalzell

I am in support of the proposed by-law amendments addressing STRs. We live in an area zoned residential, yet last summer our neighbour operated a commercial entity renting for upward to $2000 per night. Some families were ok but many renters overindulged in alcohol and marijuana and carried on until early hours of the morning with excessive noise and profanity. Until you live beside a STR you really do not comprehend how disruptive it can be to your well being, safety and health.
