Windsor Heritage Committee - History
The Windsor Heritage Committee was originally formed in 1975. To help fund the restoration of City-owned Willistead Manor (an Albert Kahn designed mansion built in 1906 for Hiram Walker's second son, Edward C. Walker), the City wished to tap into a provincial funding program available at that time, and a "local architectural conservation advisory committee" was required as a condition of the grant. In 1988 City Council hired a resource person to serve the committee, the Heritage Planner. Today the Windsor Heritage Committee consists of eleven members, appointed by City Council for a three-year term. In addition to the Heritage Planner, the Windsor Heritage Committee is assisted by a committee secretary from Council Services.. For general information, please call 311.
