We are a network of churches in Chatham-Kent who realize that we dramatically increase our power to do good by working together. Each member church chooses how it participates in the network, but we all seek to express love in a tangible way. We meet the needs of neighbours in our community by linking them to existing services or volunteers who can help.
UAW-represented workplaces range from multinational corporations, small manufacturers and state and local governments to colleges and universities, hospitals and private non-profit organizations. There are more than 800 local unions in the UAW. The UAW currently has 3,100 contracts with some 2,000 employers in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. A unique strength of the UAW is the solidarity between its active and retired members. A solid majority of the union's half-million retirees stay actively involved in the life of their union, participating in 690 retiree chapters and playing a vital role in the UAW's community action program.
The Chatham-Kent Children's Safety Village is an educational centre where children learn about safety and injury prevention in a safe and interactive environment. Statistics show that accidental injury is the leading cause of death and disability among school aged children. The Chatham-Kent Children's Safety Village can dramatically reduce injuries by teaching individual responsibility and awareness. Through hands-on training at the Village, children develop a positive attitude toward safety that will be remembered into adulthood.The facility is 7500 square feet with a 5 acre miniature village and is located in the C.M. Wilson Conservation Area.
