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.
