    WINDSOR Twin Skylines Snap Shot of Windsor Once known as Ford City – proud history in auto manufacturing Canada’s southernmost city, bordering the USA and directly opposite Detroit Major international gateway and busiest border crossing in Canada Home to University of Windsor and St. Clair College “We have a spectacular Intelligent Community of the waterfront with uninterrupted Year award in 2010 access – it is one of our jewels” Downtown Windsor is beginning to capitalize on its strengths, its exemplary institutional sector, its entertainment functions and its natural assets, to emerge as a more vital core. In recent years, the City has played a critical role in strengthening the downtown and succeeded in building strong partnerships with key stakeholders to propel these revitalization efforts forward. Despite these important gains, downtown Windsor has some way to go to reach its potential. It faces significant challenges in terms of addressing visible vacancies along its main shopping streets, attracting new businesses, growing its job base, filling its office inventory and attracting more residents. Stakeholders in downtown Windsor will need to continue to work together to address these challenges and ensure that downtown Windsor can keep moving forward along the road to revitalization. 1 Downtown Windsor Timeline 1701 – Sieur de Lamonthe establishes Fort Pontchartrain, the area’s first European settlement. 1749 – Windsor is settled by the French as “Petite Cote,” originally a small Jesuit mission. It is the oldest continually inhabited settlement in Canada west of Montreal. 1792 – The Duff Baby House is built by Alexander Duff as 1794 – The settlement of Sandwich is founded following a fur trade post.

With our members continued support, the 2014-2015 year was one of big accomplishments for our Chamber. We are proud of the attention our advocacy efforts received this past year, and the positive impact we have made in influencing decisions that help your businesses and organizations succeed and thrive.
