City of Windsor Celebrates HIGH FIVE® Re-Accreditation, a Successful Summer, and Fall Fun Ahead!

As the fall programming season begins, City of Windsor Recreation is celebrating the close of an exceptional summer! 

This year, our summer day camps saw more than 6,000 registrations while 1,300 participants also registered in our weekly SUPIE programs in parks across the city. From memorable events like the Day Camp Teddy Bear Picnic and Day Camp Olympics to everyday moments of play, friendship, leadership, and belonging, our programs brought the HIGH FIVE® Principles of Healthy Child Development to life.

And these efforts have not gone unnoticed, as we also received our HIGH FIVE® Re-Accreditation, recognizing our commitment to providing safe, welcoming, inclusive, and high-quality recreation experiences for children and families. The accreditation reflects our ongoing focus on quality programming and positive experiences for participants.

“This accreditation reflects a strong commitment to these principles, highlighted by exceptional assessment results and ongoing excellence in program quality and staff training, helping ensure that every child can play, learn, grow, and thrive,” said Michael Chantler, Commissioner, Community Services. “As we celebrate these achievements, we thank our dedicated staff, volunteers, community partners, and families who helped make summer 2026 such a success!”
