Inflation has taken its toll on all of us, and it’s of compelling concern for Windsor also, which has seen construction costs skyrocket. The City is seeking fairness from the federal government in funding joint commitments for vital infrastructure.

The warm weather made an unseasonable but welcome backdrop for the latest City of Windsor park improvement unveiling. Check out the $650 thousand commitment to Ward 4’s Stodgell Park.

The City of Windsor is developing our first-ever Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP). The UFMP will establish  long-term vision, goals, and targets for the maintenance, protection, and enhancement of trees across the entire city. It will be based on a detailed review of the current status of urban forestry in Windsor and identification of strengths, gaps, needs, and priorities for urban forest management in our community. 

"Their Future is in our hands!" The City of Windsor, Children's Services is launching a local initiative, WERECE "Windsor Essex Registered Early Childhood Educators"! WERECE is a workforce strategy for child care and early years, to bring awareness of the important role that Registered Early Childhood Educators play in the life of a child and our community.

This week’s Throwback Thursday comes from the archives Hiram Walker & Sons photograph collection. This image was taken circa 1925, and shows the shipping office located in the head office of Hiram Walker & Sons. The head office was located in Walkerville on Sandwich Street East (today Riverside Drive East). Much Has changed in the office environment over the last 100 years, moving from typewriters to computers. The furniture would have evolved over the years, with the chairs becoming more comfortable and ergonomic than the wood chairs shown in the photo, and the heavy wood desks being replaced with lighter composite materials.

The City of Windsor offers live streaming video during all City Council and standing committee meetings, as well as recordings of past meetings available upon their completion.
