Today we put a face to a name, and take a look at Cecil E. Jackson, the 17th mayor of Windsor. Cecil Jackson served as mayor for four, one year terms, from 1927-1930, and is the namesake of Jackson Park at Tecumseh and Ouellette. He oversaw some of the biggest boom years in Windsor’s History, and was mayor through both the opening of the Ambassador Bridge and The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel.
