Dear Mr. Robertson and Ms. Lanigan:

Re: Temporary Authorization for Tubing Activities

Thank you for your continuing cooperation and dialogue with regards to Kawartha Tubing Inc.s
(KT) commercial tubing activities (the Activities) within Kawartha Highlands Signature Site
Park (the Park). I would like to follow-up with you on some of the items we have discussed
previously.

The health and safety of visitors in our provincial parks is very important to us. This past week,
Park staff monitored activity at the site and based on their observations we continue to have
public safety concerns associated with: parking, traffic and congestion on County Road 36;
overcrowding with large numbers of people on the river; and promotion of the park and staff via
website and social media. We have also received an additional number of complaints from local
residents and other park users.

Of particular note, there has been a significant increase in the number of people using the Park
in recent weeks and the existing parking lot can no longer handle the number of people
attempting to park their vehicles there. As a result, the shoulders of County Road 36 have
become an overflow parking lot, which has resulted in the creation of a serious safety risk to the
public.

While Ontario Parks is prepared to provide further temporary permission to KT to carry out the
Activities in the Park until and including July 21, 2017, our health and safety concerns must be
addressed promptly. To that end, the terms and conditions in this authorization have been
updated from the previous one, notably by inclusion of the following changes that shall take
effect immediately:

KT (including its staff) shall not direct any person, or otherwise specify that a person
may, park a vehicle along County Road 36, as per condition 19 below.
KT shall arrange alternate parking or transportation to address congestion on County
Road 36, as per condition 20 below.
KT shall provide safety equipment on site including throw rings and reach poles for both
entry and exit control points for your operations, as per condition 4(a) below.
KT shall have all KT employees providing in-water service to your clients wear
lifejackets, as per condition 4(b) below.
KT shall provide life jackets to all customers of KT, and require mandatory use as part of
rental, as per condition 4 (c) below.
KT shall ensure a minimum of two staff are present at the entry point where tubes enter
the river and at the exit point where tubes are removed from the river, as per condition
4(d) below.

1
 KT shall update its Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance policy to properly
name Her Majesty the Queen in right of Ontario as an additional insured, as per
condition 11 below.
KT shall indemnify the Crown in respect of the Activities, as per condition 12.
KT shall remove all association, reference or mention of Ontario Parks from all
promotional materials of KT, including website and social media platforms, as per
condition 15 below.

In addition, KT must also comply with the following requirements by no later than July 19th,
2017:
Restrict the number of tubes to a maximum of six tubes per half hour, as per condition 1
below.
Restrict the number of tubes delivered to and stored on site to a maximum of 30, as per
condition 2 below.
Limit operational hours from 10:00 am to 6:00 p.m. daily, as per condition 3 below.

Failure to comply with the foregoing requirements may result in this authorization being revoked,
as per condition 22 below.
