It’s wonderful the government of Canada through Parks Canada has forwarded $686,000 to initiate the process for establishing a national urban park in Windsor’s Ojibway Prairie Complex.

The woodlands will be a major attraction for nature lovers, both Canadian and international, due to easy access from Highway 401 and close proximity to the new Gordie Howe International Bridge.
The biologically-rich main forest, Ojibway Shores and Nature Center should facilitate efforts to make the national urban park a reality.
The Public Advisory Council applauds the campaign and efforts on this by Mayor Drew Dilkens, city council, Members of Parliament Irek Kusmierczyk and Brian Masse, as well as local tourism and environmental communities.
One day soon, Windsor’s natural heritage will be a proud addition to Canada’s national parks system.
