“Windsor Essex was fortunate to be chosen as the host city for the 2022 Can-Am Police Fire Games and part of our commitment during the bidding process was the unwavering statement that the Windsor Essex community rallies around and supports events that choose our hometown,” said Gordon Orr, Chief Executive Officer Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island. “This Can-Am Golf Series is all about building up that community engagement and heightening the awareness of this signature sporting event coming to Windsor in 2022.”
