CK Doing More To Support Local Business During Lockdown | 99 1 FM CKXS

April 28, 2021   In light of a notice of motion to ask the province to end the pandemic lockdown in Chatham-Kent, council is taking a slightly different approach. Chatham-Kent council has approved a motion to ask the province for additional assistance for local businesses and mental health supports, due to provincial lockdowns designed to slow down the spread of COVID-19. However, council voted down a motion asking the province to review lockdowns and apply them on a regional basis considering local COVID numbers. West Kent Coun. Mark Authier, who brought forward the two motions, said COVID is real and is a threat, but the lockdown restrictions are hurting small businesses and the mental health of residents.

West Kent Coun.
