Open Streets Windsor returns this September to connect our diverse neighbourhoods and people across our community on Sunday, September 23 from 10am to 3pm. As thousands have witnessed over the past two years, this free community event will see an eight-kilometre route along Sandwich Street, University Avenue West, Wyandotte Street East and Drouillard Road temporarily opened to people but closed to cars. Once again, event organizers are looking for volunteers, as well as individuals, organizations and businesses to contribute ideas and activities at hubs along the massive event route.
Open Streets Windsor – 2018 is quickly approaching, and we would like you to participate.
Volunteers
· We are looking for more volunteers than ever who are fun, friendly and excited about making a difference! Duties include greeting, safety monitoring and supervision of roadway barricades.
Community Partners
· In addition to providing a space for people to walk, cycle, roller blade, etc. along the route, hubs are designated for individuals, businesses and organizations to carry out activities that promote health, physical activity, arts and culture—and that’s where you come in! Activities must be free and encourage the greatest possible participation from people of all ages and abilities.
If you would like to become a volunteer or a supporting activity partner, or if you’d just like to learn more about the event, please visit us for a planning session:
