The City of Windsor is proud to announce Alex-Andrei (Alexei) Ungurenasu (they/them) as its next youth poet laureate who will serve in the position until 2023. 

As Windsor’s next youth poet laureate, Ungurenasu will work on projects to showcase Windsor’s youth poetry both virtually and in person, seeking ways to integrate the role and form strong partnerships with local organizations, institutions and initiatives. They will work to create opportunities to collaborate with youth poets and artists, as well as look to design and present readings and workshops with local schools.

The Great Canadian Flag has returned to the Windsor riverfront. In the winter months, a smaller flag flies atop the pole to protect the normal flag from inclement weather. When better weather returns, the City of Windsor proudly hoists the big red and white maple leaf high above the Detroit River shoreline.
