The University of Windsor is committed to fighting COVID-19 by supporting assessment centres, healthcare facilities, and frontline healthcare workers in our region through donation of critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), medical equipment, and other important supplies to hospitals in our community.
To date, the University of Windsor has made the following donations to the health community in our region:
- University of Windsor and St. Clair College student goverment groups and alumni associations have partnered with their institutions to donate $100,000 to Windsor Regional Hospital to help with the purchase of new venitlators on April 7, 2020 (read more here)
- Departments across University of Windsor Faculties collaborated to inventory and donate PPE, including disposable gowns, gloves, masks, and other supplies, to healthcare facilities in our region on March 26, 2020 (read more here)
- The Faculty of Nursing donated ventilators and other medical supplies, including masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer, to Windsor Regional Hospital on March 24, 2020 (read more here)
For more information on the donation of PPE, medical equipment, and other supplies, please contact Heather Pratt at hpratt@uwindsor.ca.
University of Windsor researchers from across our campus are collaborating with local and regional healthcare, government, and industry partners to respond quickly to the challenges of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic.
The following initiatives are just a few examples of the important collaborations currently underway.
Hand Sanitizer Initiative
Mid-March, Chemistry and Biochemistry Professor, Dr. John Trant, teamed up with Wolfhead Distillery; InnerSeasonings, maker of the TBQ line of sauces; and Peak Processing, a local maker of edible and topical cannabis products, to provide a made-in-Windsor-Essex solution to the global shortage of hand sanitizer. By the beginning of April, thousands of bottles of the custom hand sanitizer formulated by Dr. Trant using an ethanol-based by-product of the distilling process had already been donated to police officers, nurses, and volunteers in our region. On April 3, 1,900 bottles of hand sanitizer were handed out to the community in a by-donation event that raised approximately $12,000 for the Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission.
See the Daily News stories below for more information on the Hand Sanitizer Initiative:

UWindsor-Valiant 3-D Printing Project
Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering Professor and additive manufacturing expert, Dr. Jill Urbanic, and her research team have partnered with local manufacturer, Valiant TMS, to optimize the design, 3-D print, and assemble face shields for use by front line workers. Face shields produced through this collaboration have been delivered locally to three nursing departments at Windsor Regional Hospital, two nursing homes, and an x-ray clinic, as well as to St. Joseph’s Hospital and St. Joseph’s Family Medical and Dental Centre in Toronto.

Windsor Essex Sewing Force Collaboration
Dr. Ken Drouillard and Dr. Alice Grgicak-Mannion from the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research and Dr. Lisa Porter from the Department of Biomedical Sciences have teamed up with community volunteer network, Windsor Essex Sewing Force (WESF), to develop and implement a testing and quality control program to optimize production of high-quality homemade face masks made by WESF’s more than 500 volunteer seamstresses. This collaboration, which also seeks to understand impacts on volunteers and the use of masks donated to health institutions, will make thousands of quality-tested and verified locally-made face masks available for use in our community healthcare institutions.

Sewage Surveillance Project
Executive Director of the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research and water quality expert, Dr. Mike McKay is teaming up with municipal partners in our region to examine the presence of the coronavirus in our sewage system and watersheds. By looking for the virus in our wastewater treatment plants, Dr. McKay is able to provide a better picture of how many people in the community are actually infected. This information will be particularly relevant to municipalities in identifying possible reemergence of the virus in the future.
