Windsor's mayor is joining other city leaders from across the country in identifying issues they'd like to see addressed in the upcoming federal election campaign.
Drew Dilkens says all big city mayors at this week's Federation of Canadian Municipalities meeting in Edmonton agree that funding for infrastructure, transit and a homelessness strategy are needed.
"The spin-offs from these types of investments create lots of jobs in the community," explains Windsor's mayor. "You need to look no farther than the Herb Gray Pkwy. and the forthcoming construction of the bridge, which have created thousands of jobs in the community for a number of years."
Dilkens says the mayors will be asking for a debate between federal party leaders on municipal issues. He understands they're not able to speak about what happens on a micro-level, but would like to hear each of their stances on these key issues.
