  • CBC/CKLW Building located at 825 Riverside Drive West

The CBC/CKLW Building is located at 825 Riverside Drive West in the City of Windsor, at the intersection of Riverside Drive West and Crawford Avenue. Constructed in 1954 for CKLW Radio and Television, the building was a purpose-built broadcasting facility. The building was occupied by CKLW until 1972, after which it continued to be used for media production by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBET). The property has remained in continuous use as a broadcasting and communications facility since its construction, representing the longstanding history of broadcasting in Windsor. The cultural heritage value of the property is embodied in key elements that can be conserved through sensitive integration into future development.

Further information respecting the proposed designation is available upon request. Notice of Objection to designation may be served on the City Clerk within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice, setting out the reason for the objection and all relevant facts. If such a Notice of Objection is received, the Council of the Corporation of the City of Windsor shall consider the objection and make a decision whether or not to withdraw the notice of intention to designate the property within 90 days after the end of the 30-day objection period.
