Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
I wanted to give recognition to a G4S employee who works at the downtown TD Branch (Ouellette & Pitt), Jeff Joyes. Anyone who Banks there regularly will agree that he is very kind hearted, always has a smile on his face and provides exceptional customer service. I work on the second floor of that building so I see Jeff every day and not once have I seen him in a bad mood. His great mood is often contagious. What pushed me to write this post was that I saw him run in the rain to hail a cab for an elderly customer and her to the cab while he held on to his arm to ensure she got in safely. That is not part of his job description however I see him do good deeds like these on a daily basis.
Sorry I should have specified that im looking for a Christmas sponser program.thank you
Hi Im a single mother of 7 beautiful smart girls ages 16 14 11 9 6 5 and 4.I just moved to Tecumseh from Windsor and was lucky enough last year to get sponsorship threw my children's previous school. The school they now attend does not offer any type of sponsorship. Iam on a limited budget and do not receive baby bonus right now or child support. I'm looking for a private donor or association in Tecumseh area to sponsor my family this year. I have tried sparkys but because iam in Tecumseh they are not able to help my family...if anyone knows where I may be able to receive some help or would like to sponsor my family..please email bailxo32@gmail.com thank you and god bless everyone this season
To the lady who helped my mom across the street. Thanks for being a good Samaritan. It was just one of those days. I really appreciate your generosity, my mom is also thankful for your help. God bless you.
I had my vents in my house done today( haven't done them in 7 years). I called multiple companies, but ended up going through healthy home duct cleaning because how kind and professional they were on the phone. Their employees showed up right on time, introduced themselves, and were just awesome for the time they were here. Thank you so much to a great company, and to John and Ron.....you did a great job.... You've been spotted!!
St. John the Divine Orthodox Church, 1094 Drouillard Rd., Windsor, ON
Please join us and help this very worthy cause. You can do this by:
1) coming out on November 1 and bringing items to pack one or more shoeboxes
2) if you can't attend but wish to pack one or more boxes, and you live locally, message me and I'll arrange to get you as many boxes as you need for your family or group as well as arrange for pickup
3) if you can't participate in either option, a donation, in the form of a cheque made out to St. John the Divine Orthodox Church, would be greatly appreciated. You will receive a tax deductible receipt.
Some suggestions are:
◾School Supplies - Items such as pencils, pens, pencil crayons, note pads, and picture books
◾Toys & Other Gifts - Items such as stuffed animals, small musical instruments, hair clips, toy jewelry, t-shirts, socks, and candy (loose, individually wrapped hard candy in a sealable bag)
◾Hygiene Items - Please place soap in a sealable bag
◾Personal Note - Include a personal note and/ or a photo in your shoebox
DO NOT INCLUDE:
◾Toothpaste (due to customs regulations)
◾Food and any chewy, crumbly, or soft candy: Including gum (due to customs regulations)
◾Used items (due to customs regulations)
◾Playing cards (other card games such as UNO are allowed)
◾Liquids or items that could leak, melt, freeze, or break - Shampoo, creams, lip balm, bath gels, mirrors, or glass, etc. (these can damage other items in the shoe box).
◾Items that can scare or harm a child - War-related toys, knives, and toy guns, etc.
◾Using a backpack instead of a shoe box is problematic because it creates unfair circumstances at distribution events. Backpacks can also cause problems when cartons are being packed, and when shipments are going through Customs.
We are calling upon all men, women, and children in the community to help fill a record 200 shoeboxes!!! Bring your items and pack as many boxes as you wish AND/ OR bring items to share and pack as a community assembly line effort! Anyway you want!!! Just come on out!!!
Please feel free to share this invite :)

I spotted a young couple arguing in front of my house this evening, in the area of Gladstone and Ellis. The girl was no older than 16, and she was screaming with her boyfriend, who appeared a few years older than her, screaming that she could not go back to his house. She was pulling on his wrist, trying to pull him in the opposite direction, screaming and dead set against going back to his house. They were walking down Ellis Ave, in the direction of Moy, Hall and Parent. I went outside to ask if everything was ok, and the boyfriend apologized, and said that he was just trying to get home. The girl ignored me, and continued to plead with him, saying that she couldn't go back to his house, and that she had no where else to go. I stood in my driveway, watching and listening, because I wasn't sure what this argument was about. The boyfriend agreed to sit on the curb with her, and she appeared to calm down, so I went back inside. I continued to watch from the window, and saw him leave her sitting on the curb. I went outside again to try and talk to her and see if she was ok. She said she couldn't go back to her parents house because her mom was "messed up", and I am concerned for her because if in her mind, staying on the street was a better option than going back to her boyfriends house, then my feeling is that something bad happened there. My gut feeling was that she was afraid and completely alone. I asked if there was anyone I could call for her, but she said no, and she walked away in the same direction as her boyfriends house.
She said her name was BAILEY, and she had dark hair tied in a loose bun. She was wearing grey sweat pants and a black sweatshirt and a bright neon pink backpack. If anyone sees her in the Ottawa, Tecumseh, Parent, Walker border, please contact police and let them know. I have contacted them already to inform them of this situation, and to check in on her if they see her. If you see her walking around, she may not have a place to go.
