Community Partners for Open Streets

Why Open Streets Windsor needs Community Partners
Open Streets Windsor is more than providing a space for people to walk, cycle, roller blade, etc. It is about engaging the community!
The Open Streets Windsor route includes eight designated activity hubs. The hubs are designated for individuals, businesses and organizations to animate the spaces with community-led, interactive activities - things like exercise, street games, obstacle courses, neighbourhood tours, dance classes, samples, musical performances, art installations and more. The possibilities are endless and that’s where you come in!
View the eight-kilometre Open Streets 2022 Route Map, spanning numerous neighbourhoods from the west end of the city to the east that will be temporarily open to people but closed to cars.
