Chatham-Kent Council Council Meeting
Date: Sep 14, 2026Type: Meeting mention
The council meeting addressed two primary topics. The first was a proposal regarding the extension of the backyard chicken pilot program, where arguments were made to adhere to the original two-year timeline rather than extending it further. The second topic was a motion regarding the Encampment Advisory Committee, with several deputations advocating for its continuation to complete its work, facilitate community conversation, and finalize recommendations, rather than restructuring or allowing the committee to lapse.
The public meeting was held to allow community members to provide deputations on the draft Rental Renovation Licence By-law. The discussion featured mixed reactions, with representatives from the Chatham-Kent Legal Clinic supporting the by-law to curb evictions and protect tenants. Conversely, local landlords expressed opposition, citing concerns over financial realities, increased costs, potential disincentives for property upkeep, and the belief that the municipality is overstepping its boundaries regarding provincial landlord-tenant regulations. Tenants also shared personal experiences regarding the impact of renovictions.
