The Municipality of Chatham-Kent’s Community Attraction and Promotion (CAP) team is hosting the annual ‘baCK to Chatham-Kent’ Home for the Holidays celebration. Mayor Canniff will launch the month-long campaign to honour residents that have moved baCK to Chatham-Kent with a flag raising on Friday, December 6, at 10:00 a.m. in front of the Civic Centre in Chatham.
The baCK campaign launched in 2013 to encourage those originally from the community to consider returning to Chatham-Kent. The campaign shares stories of people who have made the decision to come baCK and highlights the opportunities here. “The baCK Home for the Holidays campaign cultivates opportunities for young people to reconnect to the great things Chatham-Kent has to offer. It keeps our youth rooted to Chatham-Kent and lets them know the community will always be their home” said Mayor Canniff.
