Windsor to celebrate birthday in style with opening of City Hall Square
The City of Windsor is marking its 133rd birthday with a major celebration on July 13, and everyone's invited. The free event runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will feature the grand opening of the long-anticipated City Hall Square, which came in at a cost of around $15.4 million. This new, year-round event space is designed to bring people together in the heart of the city. Residents will get a chance to explore the downtown core in a whole new way. 'Super excited people will have another reason to come downtown,' said Downtown BIA Chair Chris MacLeod. 'It's a great opportunity to make an afternoon/evening out of it and visit our downtown shops and restaurants.' The city was aiming to open the ice rink in January but was delayed. The oval shaped rink is expected to open later this year.
