Erieau

A Tilbury man has been charged with vandalizing a veterans crosswalk in Chatham-Kent.

Chatham-Kent Police say someone did burnouts on the special crosswalk in Erieau in late July.

The suspect was eventually found through camera footage and tips from the public.

The 19-year-old is charged with mischief over $5,000.

You

know, I've got to tell you, I have an uncle named Dan Bresnahan, and he owned a home on the Lake Erie shore of Canada in a small town called Erieau.

And he built his home with a basement, and then the water table came up around six or seven feet.

And he had six feet of standing water in his basement...

During the emergencies, some residents in the municipality were asked not to bathe or do laundry for multiple days.

CK Council has approved the development costs of a new kayak launch in Erieau.

The launch has been in the works for years, but now the finish line is in sight.

Council unanimously approved using just over $266,000 to construct the launch on 3rd Street.
