The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is a single-tier government entity in south-western Ontario, created in 1998. It serves more than 100,000 residents across a largely rural-urban area spanning about 2,500 square kilometres, balancing the needs of small communities with the benefits of economies of scale in service delivery. The municipality's governance seeks to balance the heritage of its communities with economies of scale in service delivery. Its economy centers on agriculture and manufacturing, supplemented by a growing service sector, and it positions itself for growth in green energy and emerging manufacturing technologies, aided by partnerships with educational institutions such as the University of Guelph's Ridgetown Campus and St. Clair College. In 2026, it announced a collaboration with Medavie EMS Ontario Limited to strengthen emergency medical services alongside local health and community organizations.
