Despite the fact the entire province is in a lock down that didn’t stop people around Chatham-Kent from hosting New Years Eve parties.
But it cost them a pretty penny.
Chatham-Kent Police Services responded to 4 calls about gatherings that drew a charge under the Reopening Ontario Act.
Chief Gary Conn was not amused. ” It is unfortunate that some people still choose to not comply with the law considering these laws are put into place for everyone’s safety, including those who choose to break them. This pandemic requires a concerted effort by all our citizens in order to abate and eventually eradicate. It is only through compliance, cooperation and collaboration that we will overcome this virus. I am once again urging citizens to please comply and assist us in helping you.”
The parties were broken up in Chatham, Tilbury, Raleigh Township and Merlin.
The hosts each received an $880 dollar ticket
