Globe and Mail's 2015 Top 6 Retirement Hot Spots

After looking into the community more and speaking to locals, the Globe and Mail selected CK as one of six communities across Canada to be featured. Read the whole feature article to see why Chatham-Kent is a great destination for people looking to put down roots and get involved.
