Windsor, Ontario

Nicknamed the City of Roses, Windsor is the southernmost major city in all of Canada and one of the fastest growing, with a population of approximately 208,402.

Windsor has a charming mix of countryside and culture, which provides residents with plenty to do. Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair, and the Detroit River surround the city, so water activities abound. And with excellent parks, weekend hiking and biking is always an option, especially thanks to Windsor's temperate climate, which moderates the cold Canadian winters.

Cultural aficianados will love the Art Gallery of Windsor – one of the city's most influential cultural institutions – there are more than 3,000 works of art housed in the permanent collection. Not quite cultural, but highly popular, Casino Windsor is Ontario's premier commercial casino.

And you can't describe Windsor without mentioning Detroit. The two cities are so close that many consider them part of one large community. Windsor's residents have easy access to Detroit via the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. Or they can use the Ambassador Bridge, North America's top international border crossing. Incidentally, Windsor is the only point along Canada's southern border where crossing to the US requires heading north.

Once there, you can take in the excellent major league sports teams such as the MLB's Detroit Tigers, the NFL's Detroit Lions, the NHL's Detroit Red Wings, and the NBA's Detroit Pistons. Those looking for live entertainment can find it at the Gem Theater, The Fox Theater, The Second City Comedy Theater, or The Music Hall. Art enthusiasts will love The Detroit Institute of Arts, which is famed for its Diego Rivera murals.

Countryside, culture, and access to a major US city, Windsor offers everything you need.
