    2017 MUNICIPAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS REPORT Municipal Accomplishments 2017 Report Introduction The Municipal Accomplishments Report is an annual report that aims to communicate and celebrate the achievements of City of Windsor employees. City staff are dedicated to the betterment of the community and work hard to implement the vision of the Mayor and City Council. Though some of accomplishments listed have been recognized through other channels, this report provides an opportunity to enhance awareness of administration’s efforts each year as a whole and to highlight some of the City’s most notable achievements. City of Windsor Employee Awards On Thursday, November 2, 2017, City of Windsor employees celebrated the achievements and contributions of their colleagues at The 5th Annual Employee Recognition Banquet (ERB). Representatives of City Council and the Corporate Leadership Team, along with the CAO, took the opportunity to appreciate the great work being done by City staff and recognized the following 2017 award winners: Frances Horvath Memorial Equal Opportunity Award Frances Horvath, a former employee of the City of Windsor, was dedicated to improving the status of women in the workforce. City Council has endorsed this award to be presented annually to the employee who best demonstrates commitment to and promotion of equal opportunity, diversity and social justice. Diane Ryan Within the Corporation, Diane has always advocated significantly for positive change and for fairness in employment practices. She has no fear in speaking the truth but always does so in a professional and informed manner, never seeking credit for her influence. As noted in the nomination, “many employees who have benefitted from her opinions never knew of her role in their positive outcomes.” In addition, Diane has taken on leadership roles with various committees, all with the aim of making the organization more efficient, effective and a positive place for employees to learn, grow and succeed.

  • Greenway Trials in Windsor, Ontario
    Greenway Trials in Windsor, Ontario Lori Newton, Executive Director, Bike Windsor Essex, [email protected] Background Greenways are linear open spaces, including habitats and trails, that link parks, nature areas, cultural features, or historic sites with each other, for recreation and conservation purposes. Based on experience throughout North America, greenways promote outdoor recreation, catalyze economic development, increase adjacent property values, celebrate historical and cultural assets, promote conservation and environmental education, and improve quality of life. Greenways can provide an exceptional outdoor recreational experience that reconnects children and families to natural resources, and that builds a stewardship ethic. It should not be surprising that greenways are an enormous source of community pride. Windsor has a long history of greenways dating back to the 1960s. Windsor's Department of Parks and Recreation maintains 12 km2 of green space, 180 parks, and 64 km of trails. Beginning in the 1960s, Windsor started creating a shared-usage trail network, initially called the "Windsor Loop," that circumnavigates around the entire city and connects to neighboring communities (Table 1). The longest greenway trail in this network is the Roy A. Battagello River Walk (built in the late 1960s, and upgraded/widened several times), stretching from west of the Ambassador Bridge to the historical Hiram Walker Distillery, a distance of about 8 km.

Furthermore, the significant economic impact of the pandemic has changed the way we all do business. As the lead economic development agency for Windsor-Essex County, the task of WE EDC has been to develop and execute strategies to retain, expand, attract and help new businesses start up in the Windsor-Essex region. However, in the face of a world- wide economic recession and drastic changes in the operations of all regional businesses, WE EDC has also changed, to best help our local economy. As of Monday, March 16th, the WindsorEssex Economic Development Corporation has shifted from a strategic focus on retention, expansion, attraction and start-up of business to an immediate focus on business sustainability.
