In an effort to create more points of interest across Chatham-Kent, the municipality has unveiled a new sculpture in downtown Chatham. The latest art piece created by Bothwell native Mike Winia has been installed at Zonta Park. The 13-foot-tall, 4,000-pound wood carving depicts a large version of the Crowfest mascot, nicknamed Russell the Crow. The sculpture and photo installation was carved entirely by chainsaw out of a CK-grown White Oak tree. Chatham-Kent Mayor Darrin Canniff said the crow sculpture is the first of many large carved installations that will be erected in downtown areas across Chatham-Kent. He said the carvings, which will reflect each community’s history, will be unveiled sometime in the spring or summer of 2025.

Council recognizes organizations that helped during the 99 McNaughton Ave Fire.

An emergency order has finally been lifted in Wheatley, more than three years after a gas explosion rocked the town’s downtown core. During a ceremony at the Chatham-Kent Civic Centre on Thursday, municipal staff and politicians gathered to sign an order terminating the emergency in Wheatley. “It’s been a very emotional time for everybody. We can’t ignore the fact that the community has been resilient, they’ve been passionate,” said Fire Chief Chris Case. The emergency order was issued on July 19, 2021, following the detection of hydrogen sulphide gas. Just over a month later, on August 26, 2021, a gas explosion destroyed several properties around 15 Erie St. N, resulting in significant evacuations.

The municipality will now move forward with final design plans for the Chatham-Kent Community Hub following a marathon council meeting that saw nearly two dozen deputations opposing the project. During Monday’s meeting, Chatham-Kent Council voted 11-5 in favour of awarding a $2,177,683.46 contract to Architecturra Inc. for the completion of the detailed designs for the multi-year project that would see the Chatham-Kent Civic Centre, CK Public Library and CK Museum amalgamated into the former Sears building in downtown Chatham.
