Chataway was very active in historical preservation efforts in the Chester area. He was an excellent amateur auctioneer, much in demand for charity fundraisers. After his election as MLA in 1999, Chataway was named Minister of Housing. Political opponents in Chester alleged he was a slum landlord, a charge he denied, and he was moved to the human resources, environment, and labor portfolios. He resigned from cabinet for health reasons in January, 2001, but stayed on as MLA. He suffered a stroke while visiting his sister, Joan, in Toronto at Christmas, 2004, and died a few days later.
