One of the major innovations in the last decade and a half in the recreation field has been the appearance of time-sharing developments, in which individuals purchase one or more weeks vacation time, normally at purpose built condominiums. In the last few years this development has been marketed in Canada, particularly in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta. Research to date has been minimal on this topic, despite considerable environmental, social and economic implications for areas where such development has occurred. Using developments at Collingwood, Ontario, as an example, the spatial patterns and agglomeration of owners and their temporal pattern of purchasing are analysed and compared to patterns of conventional cottage owners. The effects of these developments are discussed using a matrix approach incorporating implications and effects, agencies and responses, and facilities and usage patterns. Conclusions deal with the real and perceived planning and management problems for public agencies in areas receiving timesharing developments
