City and Partners Dedicate Storm Water Pond in Little River Corridor to Honour Teachers and Mentors

Ward 7 Councillor Angelo Marignani was joined today by Member of Parliament (MP) Irek Kusmierczyk, representatives from the Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA), and members of the community for a ceremony in the Little River Corridor to officially dedicate a storm water pond.

The naming of the “Teachers’ & Mentors’ Pond” celebrates the impactful contributions of teachers and mentors who inspire and support the community. A commemorative sign has been installed in their honour, and a commemorative tree was also planted by ERCA as part of the dedication event.

This initiative recognizes the significant positive impact that teachers and mentors have on individuals, families and neighbourhoods across the community, and also enhances the popular greenspace of the Little River Corridor on the city’s east side.

The City of Windsor offers a Commemorative Tree Program, through the Parks Department, that provides residents and organizations with an opportunity to participate in the greening of our city in a memorable way. Through the program, a commemorative tree may be donated in memory of a loved one, or to celebrate a special occasion. Commemorative trees are planted at appropriate sites across the community, as part of an application process. To learn more, visit the City’s Commemorative Tree program web page.
