526-9333 All things being considered, the Sidewalk Sale days last week were great for Contact. We finally met some of the many friends of Contact and that in itself made it all wor- thwhile. : It is always nice to see face to face, people you have only heard over the phone. Our sincere thanks to each and every one for ' dropping by Contact's booth to say "Hello"'. Camping has become a way of life for many people in Ontario but there can be some pitfalls to be aware of when venturing out for ' the first time to find your dream of a lifetime, d "'a place in the country by some quiet lake." The popularity of camping has meant in- creasing pressure on private and public campgrounds. , On all the traditional public holiday weekends, campsites become filled by early ) afternoon, and in many cases people line up for hours before the site is even open. In the search for that elusive place in the country, many people are deciding that a ! r long-lease campsite might be just the thing they've been looking for. Here they can come Hot and go as they please. No reservations are ao Dog!

Long-lease campsites are a relatively new development, ; created in response to public need. The length of the lease is usually 20 years, : with the full amount being due upon signing PRICES the contract or lease. EFFECTIVE UNTIL You do not own the land. You cannot sell it.

TO LIMIT QUANTITIES Before signing any lease you should consult { a lawyer. Your lawyer will go over the terms of the lease and ensure that the financial } requirements are clearly understood. You will be required to pay in advance the full , amount owing for the term of your lease. Apart from the full payment of the lease in advance, there is usually a monthly main- tenance or service fee. The vague description "a small monthly fee" is not good enough. ' Ask also if this fee can be increased. The fee is often $15 per month, payable in advance each year. With a twenty-year lease, this figure could 'increase due to inflation an other factors. Because you are leasing the site and not ; purchasing it outright, it is vital you consult a lawyer before signing anything. Don't be 2 persuaded that your signature is "only a formality' and doesn't bind you to anything. At the least you could lose your deposit and it's possible you could be sued for breach of contract if you fail to pay the amount in full by the specified date. Make sure your lease contract allows for ongoing management of the site, and that such management is responsible for the provision of services needed for you to enjoy the site. ; Wilkinson Sword { Examine your lease very carefully and SJ OV) F/4 CONTACT raeracT COPPERTONE 7 have your lawyer ee there is a clause ay Sail SUNTAN LOTION OR permitting you to sub-lease or transfer your HEAD lease to another buyer if you wish, without HOUSE AND : : SHAVING SYSTEM ee ee payment or charge of any kind.
