WINDSOR: PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

This was posted over at scaledown.ca and event organizer James Coulter asked me to post the notice over here as well, especially given all the discussion this past week about the poor state of Downtown.

So save the date, next Saturday! Hope to see you there.

WINDSOR: PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

On Saturday, March 22 come out to the St. Clair Centre for the Arts to participate in a day of progressive thought and dialogue. Scaledown.ca and St. Clair College present Windsor: Planning for the Future. Speakers – Jim Yanchula, Larry Silani and Veronika Mogyorody will present their thoughts on urban planning and what makes a great downtown. The event aims to bring current and future trends that affect downtown Windsor’s development to the public arena. Participants will learn about new developments in urban planning, and will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences during the round-table discussions.
