Residents in Clearview Township — about 145 kilometres north of Toronto — had to contend with a cleared out grocery store this long weekend, after visits by cottage-bound out-of-towners who disregarded pleas to stay home.
It was disappointing for Clearview Mayor Doug Measures, one of dozens of cottage country mayors who this year are dreading the return of cottage season.
The parking lot, he said, was full of SUVs from Toronto (dealership plate frames are often a dead-giveaway for cottage country residents.)
The situation is so dire that many municipalities are even disconnecting utilities for cottages.
