Open Streets Windsor hosts open house

By Allanah Wills
After getting approval from the city, Windsor will host their first ever Open Streets.
The public was invited to the Windsor International Aquatic and Training Centre on Feb. 17 to receive more information, including how to become and street vendor and volunteer for the vent.
“We have information on the route, what streets are going to be closed and used,” said Michael Cooke, manager of policy planning for the City of Windsor. “They can also see different areas we’re calling ‘activity hubs,’ where there’ll be stations of interests that people can do free recreational activities at.”
With eight kilometres of street closure it will be the largest in Windsor’s history. Closure will start at Ford City and go to Sandwich Town. Patrons will be able to enjoy activities such as bike riding, yoga and dancing.
Open Streets Windsor is scheduled to happen July 17 and Sept. 18. More information can be found at the City of Windsor’s website.
