Chatham-Kent by-law enforcement officials are continuing to investigate an anti-lockdown event held Monday, April 26, 2021 at Tecumseh Park in Chatham.
“By-law enforcement observed the event and we are in the process of gathering information to determine if charges are warranted under the Reopening Ontario Act or other pertinent legislation,” stated Paul Lacina, Chatham-Kent’s director of building development services, in a media release.
Municipal officials say Chatham-Kent Police Service officers assisted the Municipal bylaw enforcement team on Monday with the protest, adding that police officers were in the area for public safety and their UAS (drone) was utilized.
Lacina thanked the majority of Chatham-Kent citizens who are following direction from authorities regarding public health measures designed to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the community, Municipal officials say.
