WHAT IS THE ZONING AND IS THIS A STRATA COMMUNITY?
The land has a zoning bylaw referred to as CHP (campground holiday park), which is intended for recreational use. The community operates as a bareland strata, which is very different than a traditional strata plan.
WHAT IS A "BARELAND STRATA"?
A bareland strata plan is the subdivision of land into full ownership strata lots and shared ownership in common property. Cottage owners are responsible for the maintenance of their strata lot, and the strata council manages the rest of the community with funding collected from the owners in the form of monthly maintenance fees.

Monthly maintenance fees are $195.09. This equal contribution covers the maintenance and operating expenses of all common property areas and facilities.
