Chatham-Kent Mayor Darrin Canniff has called on the Federal Competition Bureau and the Canadian Fuels Association to examine gasoline prices in the community of Chatham.
“We’re all aware of the volatile nature of the oil industry at present but that doesn’t explain why prices in the community of Chatham are often 10 cents a litre or more higher than prices in any other part of Chatham-Kent or surrounding communities,” Mayor Canniff said, in a media release.
Canniff said he hopes bringing public attention to the situation will be enough to get prices in line with other communities.
“I’m not expecting a full investigation, but the broader community needs to know that Chatham residents are being subjected to higher than necessary prices,” he said.
“At a time of growing inflation, our residents don’t need this added burden.”
We’ll provide more details when they become available.
