OPen Streets Windsor – Healthy Communities Hub

What is Open Streets about?

Open Streets events have been held in over 100 cities in North America and involve the temporary closure of roadways to vehicular traffic, allowing people to use them for a host of healthy and fun physical activities like walking, cycling, yoga, dancing and fitness.  CMHA is the sponsor of the Healthy Communities Hub.  We have invited other wellness-focused community partners to join us.  The hub will be located on Riverside Drive West and Carone Ave.  See Map.

As thousands have witnessed over the years, Open Streets Windsor is about more than providing a space for people to walk, cycle, roller blade, etc. — It is about engaging the community, and providing a chance to explore the streets and neighbourhoods of our city in a brand new way!

The goals of Open Streets Windsor are to:

• Encourage active transportation and physical activity;
• Encourage community building activities;
• Promote community-led active living initiatives;
• Showcase recently improved streetscapes;
• Provide an opportunity for local businesses and organizations to participate along the route.
