Chatham-Kent Council Seeks Public Feedback on Draft Ward Boundary Options in Ongoing Review.

Earlier this year the Municipality of Chatham-Kent's Council Composition and Ward Boundary Review project was initiated. Sajecki Planning Inc., in collaboration with Strategy Corp, developed seven (7) draft ward boundary options that enable the Municipality to provide an effective and equitable system of representation for all residents.

Sajecki Planning Inc. analyzed Chatham-Kent's current population, growth projections, and trends to model the Municipality's population at the parcel level through 2024 and the 2026 and 2030 elections. Population changes were projected then examined to inform the draft ward boundary options. Utilizing geographic information systems software, Sajecki Planning Inc. visualized the draft ward boundaries.

Currently, Strategy Corp is seeking feedback from Chatham-Kent residents on the draft ward boundary maps and hosting meetings as part of the second round of public engagement. Take a look at the ward boundary options via this interactive application.
