Dear current home owners and Real Estate Agents,


Please stop selling our community to the GTA.

After spending the last year trying to find a house to buy in Windsor and losing countless times to buyers from the GTA I am more than frustrated and I'm sure many others are as well.

These GTA buyers put offers on homes in our community not because they're looking to build a future here, they're looking to build equity. They don't live in these homes, they rent them out or they stay vacant. And countless residents in your community, your neighbours, friends, and family are unable to afford to compete with these individuals and are therefore left with a home.


How many someone from the unemployment capital compete with someone from the GTA when purchasing a home? They can't.

So I ask you, when accepting offers from your homes, try to sell to someone who is interested in your house for a home for their future. Not someone who discovered how good our housing market is and decided to place unrealistic for Windsor offers on homes.

Now I do understand why they're doing it and why both the home owner and the realtor will accept these offers, they want to make more money, but in the long run with offers like this consistently buying out Windsor, you're hurting Windsor to make a buck more. Soon Windsor I'll be a community in which the people who live here won't own here. They'll be renting from people who don't even live in the same community.

A phone was found at Zehrs on Malden road on Sunday March 27th. It was turned into the office. If you lost one come and claim it.

My cat has been missing since Feb 19th, he is a very large, friendly, fixed cat. black and brown he is missed very much

I want to say thank you to first the Triage nurse and the lady who takes your information. My daughter was hurt at the WFCU on Saturday evening, and I didnt have her OHIP with me. They took her anyway because thankfully she was in the system. Next we only waited 2 hours from start to leaving the hospital!! Yippee!! On Saturday before Easter Sunday.......it was the quickest we have ever been in and out. Finally to the Nurse Practitioner Pete....you were so awesome! Thankfully nothing was broken.....only sprained and we could go on our way.

Next I want to thank the staff and medics at the WFCU for taking such good care of her. I didnt think it was so serious that it warranted the medics, but sometimes us Mom's can be wrong. Awesome guys to take care of medical situations that arise. Thank you .

I surely hope that you all have a wonderful Easter........I know that we will.

On St Patrick's day I decided to try this place that I have heard so many good things about, called carrots and Dates. I decided to take the stairs while carrying my baby. As soon as the staff seen me somewhat struggling down the stairs, this sweet lady ran over to assist me. I then was greeted by a young gentleman who took my order and had me sit down. The service was wonderful and fast, the staff alone makes you want to come back. But the food was amazing. As I was leaving I again was offered help. Thank you carrots and Dates. You're kindness, food and wonderful atmosphere has made me a permanent customer. From the lady with the baby.

Just wanted to spot the smiley cashier at the dollar store in Devonshire Mall this afternoon. Thanks for the conversation about HD cheesys, and the awesome customer service. Sorry you were working. :( Hope you have a good Easter too. Sorry, I didn't get your name. You were the very short smiley girl. Hope your manager knows how much of a good employee she is.

Hi My Niece and I found a beautiful big Tan Female Dog with a green and pink collar running on Tec and Oullette today, thank goodness we were able to get her in my car as thats a busy intersection. I brought her to the Humane society. I Hope whoever lost her find her! I'm sure they will post her picture up soon on there website in the lost and found section (being a holiday Im not sure when) Good luck.

Who leaves their minivan sliding door open during rain showers? Well, yesterday I did. Absentmindedly, of course. In a time where our van has been vandalized in our own driveway while we were home and it was only unlocked because we were packing it to leave, I am extremely grateful to the person who closed the door and left everything in the van intact. Not only did you help me avoid a mess of my interior, you helped restore my faith in people. Having been absent from the van for over 8 hours (I was at work), it could have turned out so much worse. So, to the person, I'm thinking most likely a co-worker, who saw the open door and closed it...THANK YOU!!!
