BFN Cottage Leasing

Since 1956, Christian Island has offered cottage leasing. There are 184 lots located on the northern side of the island, known as Big Sand Bay. Of these 184 lots there are only a few vacant lots available for leasing. We also have a cottage subdivision on the southern part of the island known as the Lighthouse Point. All of those, 105 lots, are currently leased. We, in the Lands Department, also assist in the management of First Nation members leasing activities. For more information about "Locatee Leasing" or "Leasing" activities please contact our office.

Leasing Policies

Beausoleil First Nation requires credit and criminal reference checks from all new or potential lessees. Credit checks will be initiated by the Lands Office.

Potential lessees must initiate a CPIC on their own, through their closest police detachment and provide to the Lands Office.

These checks must be included with all applications to lease, any renewals of leases or assignments of leases or when deemed appropriate to evaluate the applicants background. The information collected will be used for leasing purposes only. Applications, renewals and assignments of leases will not be considered or approved until receipt of both the credit check and criminal reference check by the Lands Office.
