Windsor-Essex is the place to be! Here’s why:
Canada’s first giga factory is located here, producing electric batteries for the EV industry. With the increased demand for EVs and the shift towards renewable energy sources, the giga factory is poised to be at the forefront of this movement.
The region is surrounded on three sides by 160 kilometres of shoreline, offering unrivalled recreational opportunities, and has an enviable number of parks, trails and gardens.
People are drawn to the region’s climate. It is Canada’s southernmost community, located on the same latitude as northern California and southern Italy. With warm summers and mild winters, it’s perfect for outdoor activities all year-round.
Transformational projects are underway, including the new Gordie Howe International Bridge, a new regional acute care hospital, and new and expanded facilities at the University of Windsor and St. Clair College.
The region’s strategic location makes it easily accessible to major cities in North America, including Detroit, Toronto, and Chicago. The Windsor-Detroit border crossing is the busiest commercial crossing in Canada, handling a staggering one-third of all trade between Canada and the U.S.—about $1 billion per day.
