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

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

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

of 24

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
