What Does Windsor Want? Enter Your Opinion On Facebook Page

Windsor Revivers is a group of five 4th year undergraduate students in the Green Corridor class at the University of Windsor with a project called "What Does Windsor Want?"

The project is a community appeal research aimed at understanding what the citizens of Windsor would like to see developed in the downtown core as it goes through big changes. They would love for the people of Windsor to join them on their facebook page and leave a comment or two with their ideas about how we might make downtown more family friendly or more environmentally friendly.

Windsor Revivers members will also be available in person from time to time in the downtown area where they will be asking the public to speak to them about it and/or fill out a survey to contribute.

The research will be on going until late in December, however if the group receive a large amount of feedback they may continue the research until the project have reached 25,000 responses. If the goal got accomplished, they will be writing a report on their findings that can be given to city council as a petition for change.
