Why consultation isn't required
On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempts all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the EBR until 30 days after the declared emergency is terminated.
Proposal details
Details of instrument

The lots are proposed to be serviced by individual sewage systems and treated lake water from Rainy Lake. Currently, the property is largely undeveloped with the exception of two (2) existing cabins. The properties will be accessed via a 2 km road across Crown land off of Highway 502.
