Could good news be coming for the Children’s Treatment Centre?
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is heading to southwestern Ontario today.
He’ll be spending the majority of the day in Windsor, but will stop in Chatham later this afternoon to meet with Treatment Centre staff.
The facility has been waiting for word on provincial funding to help build a new, expanded centre.
The land on McNaughton Avenue West near Bear Line has been secured for over two years with plans for a 50,000 square foot building.
Millions of dollars has been raised by the community, but the plans hinge on a financial commitment from the Ministry of Children and Youth Services.
The Treatment Centre serves nearly 4500 clients each year, or one in every five children in Chatham-Kent.
