Welcome to Downtown WO

The Downtown Windsor BIA is proud to present the
Downtown WO Blog. WO is short for Windsor, Ontario. "Whoa!" is also the natural reaction you'll
have when you visit this site and discover a new aspect of downtown, reinventing
your perception of Windsor's core business district.
Read new and untold stories about downtown Windsor that highlight the best
parts of this unique business community, its patrons, and residents. Regular features will find their way into the mix with emphasis on downtown
Windsor's businesses, entrepreneurs, residents, events, festivals, history, and
more.
We hope that you, the reader, will share your stories of downtown Windsor,
and suggest ideas that we should pursue and put in the spotlight. Send
suggestions to info@downtownwo.ca. Mostly, we're excited to show you the true faces that make this diverse core
continue to operate with a steady vibrancy.
