There are countless stories of student achievements over the decades and, with each new year, we look forward to celebrating more. In this issue of VIEW, you will read some examples of ways our students and graduates are making a difference in the world. Our alumni and friends of the University of Windsor contribute to this in many ways. Success begins with desire, talent and hard work, and is enabled by dedicated faculty and staff. But its fulfilment often is realized only because of the support of others. For that reason, we shine a light in this issue on the University of Windsor’s Annual Giving Program (AGP). Through the participation of students who call donors during the AGP fall phonathon, the contributions of on-campus donors, and the many donors, far and wide, who believe in the University, success becomes a collective endeavor and a shared pride. To all of Dr. Alan Wildeman you, we offer a sincere “thank you”. The AGP provides funding for scholarships and bursaries, innovation in classrooms, and discovery in laboratories. Across all of our faculties, you can find examples of how this program makes a critical difference. Many of you reading this issue of VIEW have yourselves been the beneficiary of its support, and may have a story to share of how it enabled you to reach your own goals. There is much happening across campus in support of student success. I encourage you to stay connected with us, visit when you can, and share your thoughts. As we continue to shape the university experience to be one that prepares students for a lifetime, you might be the reason students are inspired to broaden their horizon.

  • Matty Moroun and the Reform of the Detroit River Border Crossing
    Big Business and Local Government: Matty Moroun and the Reform of the Detroit River Border Crossing John B. Sutcliffe Department of Political Science University of Windsor Windsor, Ontario, N9B 3P4 Canada E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the role and influence of one powerful business owner in local government decision-making. The paper examines Manuel Moroun’s efforts to influence local government decision-making in Windsor, Ontario. Moroun is the owner of the Ambassador Bridge that connects the cities of Windsor and Detroit and is the most significant North American border crossing in terms of the volume and value of trade. Moroun is currently engaged in an effort to build a replacement bridge and prevent the construction of a publicly-controlled bridge that will break the monopoly that his bridge currently enjoys. One element of Moroun’s campaign has been his efforts to influence local governments. These efforts include lawsuits brought against Windsor City Council and its councillors, the purchase of extensive property holdings in Windsor and Detroit, public relations campaigns, and political campaign contributions. This paper examines these efforts and the degree of their success in influencing the decisions taken by Windsor City Council with respect to the border crossing. The paper examines different explanations of Moroun’s influence in local politics. The conclusions reached are that Moroun is a major player in local politics. At the same time, he has not dominated local decision-making and has not enjoyed as much influence as has been evident in the United States. In Canada, the municipal council and local community have been prepared to oppose his policy goals and have been at least partially successful in these efforts.

  • Creating Instability for Parents & Communities
    Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care Windsor’s City Council’s Child Care Decision Creating Instability For Parents & Communities The City Has Voted To Shut Down All Its Public Child Care Centres On Feb. 1, hundreds of parents and child care supporters went to a City Council meeting to urge Council not to shut down its seven public child care centres plus two satellites. Despite two public opinion polls that voted 2 to 1 for keeping the programs open and limited information about the impacts of closure, City Council voted 5 to 3 to slam the doors shut on September 1, 2010. Public child care programs have been the foundation of Windsor’s child care services for decades. They have led the way in providing high quality, flexible child care, accommodating special needs children, and contributing to early childhood education training. The City Has No Idea Whether Other Child Care Services Are Viable The City has said that closing public centres is simply a matter of transferring children to non‐profit and for‐profit centres. But the City hasn’t done its homework: • Windsor community development and health commissioner Ronna Warsh, who co‐authored the closure report, did not provide any data on the viability of the private sector in the medium and long term at the Council meeting. That’s because the City did not study this issue. • The City says that there are over 1,400 vacancies in these other centres. Not so, say private operators who have reduced staff levels given declining enrollment. In fact, no one really knows how many spaces are available, what age groups they’re for, whether they accommodate special needs children or whether the centres are viable.

    Aliiiiiiiiiii..- - WINDSOR-DETROIT TUNNEL CORPORATION The Windsor-Detroit Tunnel Corporation ('WDTC') became active on January 1, 2010, with the successful transfer of the Canadian portion of the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel from the Corporation of the City of Windsor to their wholly-owned subsidiary, the WDTC. The City of Windsor is the sole shareholder in the WDTC, which is an incorporated entity under the Ontario Business Corporations Act ('OBCA').

The current composition of the WDTC Board is as follows: Mayor Eddie Francis Councillor Jo-Anne Gignac Councillor Bill Marra Councillor Fulvio Valentinis Mr. Tim Fuerth Officers of the WDTC at present are as follows: President Mayor Eddie Francis Vice-President Ms. Helga Reidel Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Onorio Colucci The WDTC Board meets as needed, or at the call of the President.

Directors are elected at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which takes place each year; as the sole shareholder is the City of Windsor, the Annual Meeting of Shareholders is in the form of a City Council Meeting. City Council, as shareholder, elects Directors for the upcoming year, upon the recommendation of the WDTC, to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. WDTC Board meetings typically take place at Windsor City Hall in the Walkerville Room and, although not required under the OBCA, the WDTC conducts a portion of their agenda in 'open session'.
