BUILDING ON OUR STRENGTHS – The Proposed Windsor-Essex Hospitals System
The future of healthcare is bright in Windsor-Essex. Last year a local Steering Committee submitted a plan to transform the region’s healthcare delivery system by ensuring residents get the right care, in the right place at the right time. The $2 billion system investment includes a new state-of-the-art hospital on County Rd 42 and Con. 9, an urgent/emergency care centre, outpatient mental health & other services in the heart of Windsor and a Centre of Mental Health Excellence at the Tayfour Campus.
It’s a system that is locally made, patient-centred and accessible, with modern facilities. Residents in Windsor-Essex deserve nothing less! For more information, please visit www.windsorhospitals.ca.
Our Famous Medals
Our medals have won numerous awards and are the only open source medals in the running world. Meaning you the runners always choose a person you want to see on next years medal, we tally up the top three and next years runners vote on who from the top 3 make it on the medal. Next years runners make recommendations for the follow years 'Great Canadian' and it keeps going. These are the 'Great Canadians' from past years. Sir John A, Terry Fox, Cmdr Chris Hadfield and Wayne Gretzky.
In 2017 on Canada's 150th Anniversary we have made the executive decision that YOU are the Great Canadian. In todays politically charged climate we wanted to celebrate and focus on what makes our Country so amazing...the people. The citizens of Canada, with heritage from all over the world have come together to forge a young Nation living in harmony. So it is you, our fellow Canadians who are Great. This years medal keeping with our famous Maple Leaf architecture also has a mirror in the middle to relect your image. Congratulations you are a Great Canadian and thusly on this years medal. Happy 150th Canada!
