The Service Ontario offices in Chatham and Dresden will be open to walk-in customers once again next week.

Offices will continue to offer appointments for customer convenience. Appointments can be booked by calling 311 (locally) or 519-360-1998 or by emailing CK311@chatham-kent.ca.

The CP Holiday Train is coming back to Chatham this holiday season!

It will stop at the John D. Bradley Centre on December 1st at 2:30.

Lindsay Ell & Texas Hill will be performing between 2:45 and 3:15.

The event is free but CP encourages people to bring food donations to help address hunger in their communities. Local food banks will be accepting donations at each stop to ensure those less fortunate have enough healthy food this holiday season.

If you’re willing to sit through commercials, a cheaper option is coming on Netflix.

The new ad-supported streaming will launch on November 1st for $5.99 per month. Ad-free plans start at $9.99 and go as high as $20.99 a month.

For the lower fee, subscribers will see an average of four to five minutes of ads per hour placed before and during TV shows and films. Pricing for its existing plans will not be affected by the introduction of the ad tier.
