After the big snow storm the other day, I had used the snow brush from my car to help my sister clear off hers, and had left it in my garage. I got off work last night at the WFCU and discovered that it had snowed and when I got in my car I realized I had nothing to clear it off with. The gentleman that had just pulled in next to me had leant me his without me even having to ask. Thank you, thank you for being such a gentleman. It was truly appreciated. :)

Hello I am an avid Spotted in Windsor follower. I find this group very interesting and love the wonderful sense of community displayed here, which is why i was wondering if maybe spotted in Windsor would be able to help me find my birth brothers and sisters. I was adopted when i was about 4 years old or 5 years old Between 1993 and 1995. I was born April 20th 1991. I have always wanted to find out more about who I am related to and there is hardly any information to go by. My Adoptive late mother passed away in 2006 and my Grandmother passed away in 2012. They never told me my original family name. All that I am aware of is that i have 3 younger brothers and sisters and i believe 4 older brothers and sisters. I found this out when i inquired through the Children's aid society a few years back but the information they provided was spotty and very minimal. Any information would be appreciated. I am not trying to force myself into their lives in any way its more just for personal closure. If they want to engage in a friendship than that would be a bonus but its not required.;) Thank you spotted in Windsor i hope you can help me :)

Spotted: The Transit Windsor driver who helped the visually impaired man get onto the other bus safely and to the man wearing the spartans coat who not only helped him off the bus but also helped him walk along the sidewalk on Mill street. The kindness of these two men brought a smile to my face.

At the Spitfire's game last night (January 9th) a very nice lady caught a T-shirt they were throwing and turned around and gave it to one of the three 12 year old boys I brought to the game. At the end of the game she told me how nice it was to see boys be polite and respectful as in previous game the kids that would sit behind her were not this way! She said thanks for doing such a great job with them! Although I didn't think they were being all that great, thank you very much for the compliment it meant a lot! You have been spotted!

From: A proud single mom of 4 boys!

Mayor Eddie Francis, who was been the mayor for the last 11 years. So much accomplished and you will be missed.

Thank you for all you years of dedication and hard work for this city.

Buy local New Year s resolution could put $78 million back into Windsor-Essex

If every household in Windsor and Essex County spent 10 per cent of their weekly grocery bill on locally made products this year, that could pump an estimated $78 million into the region.

Leamington Stands Strong is asking consumers to make that their New Year s resolution.

If you don t spend local more and more businesses will be forced to close, Katie Omstead, one of the founders of the Leamington Stands Strong buy local movement, said Wednesday.

Leamington Stands Strong started after Heinz shocked the town with plans to close its Leamington plant later this year. The volunteer group is fighting the anticipated negative economic impact with its positive buy local message.

Omstead said the 10 per cent challenge would turn into a $1.5 million weekly investment back into the region based on 150,000 households in Windsor and Essex County. It s not just about Leamington but Windsor-Essex and products made in Chatham-Kent, including Wheatley with its fisheries.
