Return Home Upcoming for Some Residents Displaced by Fire at 99 McNaughton

Work to complete repairs on 99 McNaughton are progressing without delays and it is very likely that all occupants of section D will be permitted to return home by November 15. Section C is expected shortly after. More information on section C and a concrete timeline will be announced by November 8.

Sections A and B require extensive repairs and remediation, which will take several months. There is currently no estimated timeline for return to these sections.

Municipal staff will be reaching out to occupants from section D in early November to discuss their return.

The Municipality of Chatham-Kent continues the time-limited agreement with the new ownership of Park St. Place in Dresden for those affected by the fire. The temporary use of this property is currently providing stable housing for tenants until they are able to return to their homes.
