New video! Waste Water: Where Does it Go?

The City of Windsor has recently released our Climate Change Adaptation Plan with the following technical Appendices as part of our strategy to combat climate change.

In addition, we have released the accompanying Urban Heat Island Report making recommendations to mitigate urban heat and its impact on public health. 

The City of Windsor has many strategies in place to guide our municipal development towards sustainability. Our Community Strategic Plan adopted by Council in 2006 lists the environment as one of the four pillars on which Windsor will be founded. This includes preserving and enhancing the natural environment, developing land sustainably, improving energy efficiency and supporting environmentally friendly means of transportation.

Check out the Environmental Master Plan web pages to see the programs and initiatives we are working on to help preserve our environment.

Visit the Environmental Services pages to learn about wastewater treatment and how to properly dispose of waste products. The City of Windsor's Downspout Disconnection program is available for residents who would like to divert clean rainwater collected on the roof from the sewer system. 

Check out the Stay Cool Windsor-Essex program designed to prepare for heat events during the summer months.
