An evacuation is underway in parts of Wheatley after a strange odour was detected.
According to Chatham-Kent police, all residents on Foster Street between Erie Street North and Victoria Street North are being evacuated to ensure their safety.
The Wheatley Arena is serving as a temporary shelter for the displaced residents.
The public is being asked to stay away from the area until further notice.
Emergency crews are investigating the odour. More details as they become available.
Earlier in the week, new equipment was installed to monitor wells in downtown Wheatley.
That process will last for approximately six months.
Wheatley suffered a catastrophic gas explosion in August of 2021 that ripped apart several buildings in the downtown core.
