Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship advises that on June 26 Manitobans will have the first opportunity to select from new first-come, first-served cottage lots available across the province.
Following the eastern area lot selection meeting and the 2013 cottage lot draw, 126 lots in existing subdivisions are now available for purchase or lease through the First-come, First-served Cottage Lot Program. The new additions include 49 lakefront, nine lake-view and 23 provincial park lots. In addition, 10 lots not claimed after two or more cottage lot draws and returned to the province will be made available for sale or lease.
Since the program began in 2009, 142 lots have been sold or leased.
Manitoba residents can apply in person from June 26 to July 9 at 200 Saulteaux Cres. in Winnipeg or by mail as of July 10. Non-Manitoba residents can apply starting on Oct. 24.
More information on new inventory, program rules and guidelines for the First-come, First-served Cottage Lot Program is available at www.gov.mb.ca/conservation/cottaging.
