Chatham ranked 9th on U-Haul’s List of Canadian Growth Cities in 2020.

Growth Cities are calculated by the net gain of arriving one-way U-Haul trucks over departing one-way U-Haul trucks for a calendar year. 

The 2021 Grammy Awards has officially been pushed from its original date of January 31 to March 14.
