Feedback Wanted on Sandwich Town Murals
Windsor’s Culture department is looking for feedback on a series of Sandwich Town murals.
The 16 murals honouring significant black leaders in our community were originally exhibited along the exterior wall of a grocery store on Sandwich Street. However, the grocery store has since been sold, and the murals were removed and placed in storage for safekeeping.
The City of Windsor is looking for the community’s feedback on how to proceed.
This survey will be available for comments until February 11, 2019. 
Two open houses will also be held: Wednesday January 23, 2019 from 5 pm to 7 pm and again on Saturday February 2, 2019 from 10 am to noon. 
Both open houses will take place at the Mackenzie Hall Cultural Centre, 3277 Sandwich Street. 
We invite you to discuss your thoughts and opinions with administration. Should you have any questions but are unable to attend either open house, please email us atculturalaffairs@citywindsor.ca.
