Chatham-Kent’s beaches are now more accessible to those with mobility challenges.
The Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation of Chatham-Kent recently completed its three-year Mobi Chair Project at Erieau, Rondeau, and now Mitchell’s Bay.
Three Mobi Chair floating beach wheelchairs are now available for public day use throughout the beach season, allowing individuals with disabilities or limited mobility to safely travel across the sand and enjoy the water. The final phase of the project at Mitchell’s Bay also included the installation of a secure storage building, funded through the Municipality of Chatham-Kent Councillor Ward Funding Grant Program through Hydro One.
The initiative was made possible through the support of several community partners and funding from the Chatham Kent Community Foundation and the South Kent Wind Community Fund.
