What's open and closed in Windsor on Labour Day — and a new parade route
Labour Day is bringing with it some closures in Windsor for the holiday Monday, and a brand new parade route.
According to officials, in observance of the holiday, city hall and administration offices will not be open, along with community and customer care centres and arenas — with the next council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 4 p.m. in council chambers.
The city's 311 customer contact centre will be offline, reopening on Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. However, services and information remain available online and via the 311 mobile app.
Meantime, the 211 service remains available across the long weekend — 24 hours a day — to serve residents across the city and county.
Windsor's Homelessness and Housing Help Hub (H4) program will be open normal hours, 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., to offer services for people experiencing homelessness.

New route for Windsor's Labour Day parade
There's a new parade route for the annual Windsor and District Labour Council's Labour Day parade.
This year it starts at Unifor Local 200/444 Union Hall on Turner Road at 10 a.m., running west along Tecumseh Road to Parent Avenue — then north toward Ottawa Street, turning right on Ottawa, and ending up at Lanspeary Park.
