An official signing of the order to terminate the emergency in Wheatley takes place in Chatham-Kent Thursday afternoon.

The signing will happen in council chambers at the Chatham Civic Centre.

On July 19, 2021, an emergency was declared in Wheatley following the detection of Hydrogen Sulfide gas. The following month, on August 26, an explosion occurred at 15 Erie St. North and expanded the emergency evacuation zone. Three years later, following site demolition, a successful investigation, and the plugging of an uncovered well, municipal officials are officially ending the emergency order.

Mayor Darrin Canniff will be joined by Chief of Fire and Rescue Services Chris Case, Councillor Lauren Anderson, and Director of Public Works Ryan Brown.
