Windsor Reopens

Windsor Reopens is the City of Windsor’s plan for the reopening phases of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In our state of readiness, we will ensure that our staff and the public have confidence in our ability to provide a safe environment for them. This will be accomplished with thorough planning and preparation, and a careful, measured return to service.

Factors we will consider include provincial orders, Medical Officer of Health directives, industry-specific guidelines, Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) task force input, third-party stakeholders (e.g. courts, tenants) and the experience of other municipalities.

As of June 25, 2020, Windsor-Essex is currently at Stage 2 of the Province of Ontario's reopening plan, which recommends consideration of the following:

Opening more workplaces with significant mitigation plans
Opening more public spaces
Allowing some larger public gatherings
Continued protections for vulnerable populations

With provincial guidelines in mind, we aim to provide the maximum amount of service possible while keeping staff and the public safe; ensuring fiscal responsibility and responsiveness to community needs; and getting staff back to work (e.g. through their home jobs or vital redeployments) as quickly as possible.
