Open Streets route opens new opportunities for community engagement

Want to connect your campus group with the local community? Open Streets Windsor is back, offering the perfect opportunity to get involved.

Once again, the city will transform eight kilometers of roadway into a vibrant, car-free space on Sunday, Sept. 22, where thousands of residents can cycle, walk, jog, and explore.

This year’s event introduces a new route, starting on Via Italia and stretching east to Riverside, giving participants the chance to discover new neighbourhoods.

A University Hub will be right in the middle of the action on Ford City’s Drouillard Road nestled between the many shops and restaurants the area offers.

“This year is a great opportunity to participate because we’re in a new location and connecting with a different demographic than previous years,” said Mona Sleiman, manager of outreach, events, and protocol in the Office of the President.

The commitment is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., plus set-up and teardown times. To get involved and reserve your space, contact Sleiman at mona@uwindsor.ca.
