Soon, a new community space will open in West Windsor that celebrates the city's maritime and economic history.
The Windsor Port Authority is teaming up with the Sandwich Teen Action Group to create an outdoor marine museum that will display Indigenous and marine artifacts along a tree-lined path that will open up into a space for community events, socialization, relaxation and an annual Christmas Tree display.
"More than a dozen display panels will trace port development from the traditional lands of the First Nations to the arrival of European settlers, to the major port of national strategic interest that is Windsor today," the port authority said in a news release.
The project is made possible with funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
Port Windsor has contributed to a dozen community projects over the past year including neighbourhood cleanups, the Sandwich Teen Action Group, Open Streets, and sculptures of Chief Tecumseh and Hiram Walker.
It is the third largest port in Ontario.
