WINDSOR BRIEF:

In 2011, the population of Windsor was 210,891 and that of the Windsor metropolitan area (consisting of Windsor, Tecumseh, Amherstburg, LaSalle and Lakeshore) was 319,246, situated in an oddly shaped thumb at the bottom of Canada, directly south of Detroit, Michigan. It's a four-hour drive from Toronto, about five hours from Chicago and five minutes from Detroit.

Windsor is right in the middle of North America's Great Lakes system. It's a historically strategic location that dates back to the War of 1812 and later to the rum-running days of the prohibition (Chicago's Al Capone was a frequent visitor).

Windsor is home to the University of Windsor and St. Clair College,Hiram Walker distillery and Windsor Salt . It probably has the highest number of swimming pools per capita in Canada, and enough golf courses to make any golfer perk up.

More than 30,000 people are employed in automotive production in Chrysler, Ford and General Motors and hundreds of auto-related suppliers which make everything from hubcaps and seat covers to technologically-advanced tool and die machinery (which makes the parts that make all the parts).

Windsor has one of the best small symphony orchestras performing a full season in Canada. Windsor Feminist Theatre, Windsor Light Opera, and University Players provide another night out, and the refurbished Capitol Theatre pinch hits with other plays and concerts.
