Municipal Operations Status During Global System Outage

There is currently a global systems outage affecting airports, banks, boarder crossings and hospitals.

The Municipality of Chatham-Kent was experiencing an outage of our employee recruitment tool and jobs board, which use a third-party software provider that is impacted, but this has been resolved. All municipal services, including Riverview Gardens and the Provincial Offences Court, are not experiencing any public-facing service impacts related to this outage.

All municipal services are currently open and operating, including ServiceOntario.

The outage is related to an issue with the Crowdstrike Falcon platform, a cyber security platform used worldwide.  

Delays in service may occur through our partners that utilize this platform. Services may be disrupted as our partners navigate this difficult situation.
