Background
• CP updated its long-term plan in 2017
• Ecosign Mountain Planners www.ecosign.com
• What is the site capable of?
• Boutique hotel & winter day ski destination?
• Or, something more?
• Land Use Economics www.luellc.com
• What is the market reach?
• Existing market only - Ottawa & St. Lawrence Seaway?
• Or, more distant highly populated markets - GTA?
• The analysis was conducted in stages over 2-year period 2015 – 2017
• Funded by Resort, Eastern ON Development Fund & ON Ministry of Tourism
• Participation from day one by
• Renfrew County Planners and Economic Development
• Greater Madawaska Council & Planning

Research Findings
• 1,500 acres – more than enough
• Site perfectly suited to support
• A community of neighbourhoods
• Each neighbourhood defined by distinct land forms
• Community centered around Pedestrian Village
• Combination of mountain & lake rare and a unique strength
• Proximity to markets – Ottawa, Seaway & GTA
• Economically feasible – if capital could be attracted to Project

Utility Planning
• Commenced 2017
• Water & Wastewater
• Power, Propane & Other
• Outcome
• No municipal services
• Calabogie Peaks Utilities serves the Resort Site
• Expand existing systems in phases with growth
• Water & Wastewater
• Requires Municipal Responsibility Agreement
• At higher volume, transition wastewater from peat bed to a treatment plant
• Power
• Expand supply by installing Central Meter in spring 2019
• Hydro One increased capacity from 2.5 MWs to 3 MWs
• Supports initial new development – more power ultimately required
• Propane
• Expand existing distribution system
Page 17 of 24
Ability to Attract Capital
• CP retained Deloitte Ottawa Real Estate Advisory Services
• Reviewed list of Ottawa area developers/builders that may be interested
• Created investment structure to attract developer/builder
• CP would sell serviced land to builder (large mortgage back)
• CP invests $xxx,xxx to expand utilities to serve the sold land
• Builder constructs 1 Ped. Village building for ~ $15 million
• Condo sales pay builder
• Builder pays off CP’s mortgage
• Conclusion - opportunity not feasible because
• No existing similar housing market
• No existing absorption rate for condos and townhomes
• “Build it they will come” risk to high
Page 18 of 24
Alternative Capital Attraction Plan
• Convert 3 accommodation buildings to condos and town homes
• Eight Oaks units – (all 2-bed units)
• Ten Pines units – (mix of 1,2 & 3 bed units)
• Eight Cedars units – (mix of 2 & 3 bed units)
• CP bank loan to renovate and renew the 3 buildings
• Loan requires pre-sales
• Greater dollar risk to CP
• If sales successful:
• Proves the market
• Unearths back log of interested buyers
• Allows CP to begin attracting builders & capital to the site
• If not successful, CP will analyze why and plot from there

Community Benefits
• Increased tax base
• With no additional direct costs – private roads and private waste disposal
• Project creates
• Direct induced economic benefits
• Indirect induced economic benefits
• Follow on business to community
• Tourism economy grows and strengthens
• Greater and more diverse employment opportunities
• Less need to leave for a job
• Real Estate values solidified, and some improve
• Improvement to Quality of Life:
• Community center established for residents and visitors to meet, congregate & socialize
• Pedestrian Village hosts educational, cultural & other group/social activities
• Reverses the slow decline in the viability of the school, stores, services, etc.
• Attracts unique events and activities
• TGM residents enjoy everything Resort membership & the Pedestrian Village offers
