Councillor Ward Funding Program

Hydro One recently announced plans to improve the electrical infrastructure in our area. Part of their commitment includes allocating additional funding for projects that are culturally or recreationally relevant. Funding is available through the Council Ward Funding Grant Program for capital assets or to provide financial assistance to individuals, community groups or not-for-profit projects that address a community need.

  • Capital Asset is defined as a piece of land, building, equipment or other item with cultural or recreational value to Chatham-Kent.
  • Funding is not available for the operational costs of any entity or profit-driving activities.
  • For more information, please refer to the Councillor Ward Funding Program Policy under Documents to the right.

Each year, every Councilor will receive $25,000 to be used in their community. The Mayor will receive $125,000.

Requests are compiled monthly and distributed to Council for review. Applicants will be contacted by administration within six weeks of applying. For questions, please email WardFunding@Chatham-Kent.ca.
