POTTAGEVILLE, Ont. - Members of a southwestern Ontario nudist club are set to appear before landlord and tenant board hearings Monday to fight to keep their homes after the park was sold to new owners.
The nudists say they received word in August that Glen Echo Park would close its gates on Oct. 1.
There are about 90 land lease homes at the park in the small southwestern Ontario community of Pottageville, located about 50 kilometres north of Toronto.
While the residents own their homes, they lease the land on a yearly basis.
Community members says Glen Echo Park is one of the oldest nudist or naturist communities in Canada.
They say naturists traditionally pride themselves in living lightly on the land, leaving a small and shallow ecological footprint.
