Tips for Moving and Visiting

The weather in Windsor is nice, humid in winter and not too cold in summer. It is a small city but you can still be content. Most people are really nice here!
If a person were moving to my hometown of Windsor, I would encourage them to research the many bike trails in the area. The city has a sprawling array of trails, ranging from beginner to expert skill levels. A good place would be the trail that wraps through Malden Park.
Windsor is a city with roots in the automotive trade. This is because Windsor has deep ties to Detroit, the centre of the American automotive trade, which is just across the Detroit River. For many years, Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler had factories here. Because of budget cuts though, Windsor has fewer automotive plants; and therefore, the rate of unemployment has increased.
What know if moving to Windsor, is that it is a border city. We are neighbors to The United States of America’s very own Detroit city. If Windsor does not offer enough options then right across the river just a hop, skip and jump away is a whole new land to explore.
Windsor is a border city, in Southern Ontario. The city has a fascinating history, spanning the War of 1812 and the Underground Railroad. Known as the “Automotive Capital of Canada”, Windsor has built an industry of vehicle manufacturing and distribution. However, in recent years, factory production has slowed and many manufacturing jobs have been lost to plants opened in their cities and countries.
