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.

October 4th Council Meeting

Hi friends,  I wanted to provide a brief synopsis of today's Council meeting as there are some items of interest to residents in the west-end.  First, I am happy to report that Council unanimously supported my committee motion not to remove the streetlights at Brock and Sandwich and at Campbell and Grove. There was an administrative report recommending the removal of streetlights at these intersections, among others, and Council supported my motion to keep them there considering there are two grade schools close by at each location.  Second, we were supposed to discuss and debate the Legacy Beacon project and the Festival Plaza Canopy project today. Councillor Gignac put forward a motion to defer these items until administration reported back on a comprehensive report looking at these two projects together with the Civic Esplanade project that is set to come forward at some point in the future. I supported this motion because I think it gives us a bigger picture to assess...
