The countdown to our LPAT hearing is on

It takes place from October 8 to 10, 2019 We have only 6 weeks to raise another $37,000 to pay our legal fees. How you can help:

We need your financial support to pay for it.  We need $37,000 more to reach our fundraising goal of $100,000. Thank you to each and every one of you who contributed so generously to our legal fund since we launched this campaign in February 2019. Some of you have made multiple donations. One of our donors even shared a modest lottery win with us! Many of you donated anonymously because you didn't want your employer to know. Please help us reach our fundraising goal by donating what you can afford --- No amount is too large or too small. If you can only afford $10, that's fine as well. If you wish to donate anonymously, GoFundMe will allow you to do so. Some people prefer to donate directly. If you would like to do so too, please email our fundraising team for details.

A QUICK POLL: What's happening at the Grace site?

Photo taken Thursday, August 29th, 2019 at 4.15 p.m. The billboard states: "Future home of the proposed urgent care centre / main satellite facility."

Do you believe Windsor Regional Hospital is going to use the former Grace Hospital site on University Avenue for future health care services?  Yes No

In their own words: Weekly round-up of comments from our friends and neighbours

"Some people would like to see our existing facilities renovated, some would like to see a multi-hospital approach and most simply want to see a more urban location for the new single site hospital project. That said there are many voices and independent thinkers. Not everyone who opposes the plan is part of CAMPP just as not everyone who supports the location is a WRH employee. If someone in the community says “scrap the whole thing” I would say with absolute certainty that individual does not represent the majority nor does that represent the official stance of CAMPP in any way."

"I will always go with the quote from Tom Hunt [Chief Planner, City of Windsor] at the midnight hour that fateful [August 13, 2018] evening. “We don’t want to lose development to our bedroom communities”. Our administration simply has lost faith citizens will want to live in the city. They’d sooner move to the county. So we have a city council that doesn’t believe it’s city centre is worth living in."

"I find it astonishing that in the face of colossal infrastructure debt, crumbling infrustructure, wide scale flooding issues, economic instability and a massive aging population that @CityWindsorON continues to defend new development of 400hectares because...well because they can"

"Thom Hunt [Chief Planner, City of Windsor] knows the perils of sprawl. I’m sure if he wasn’t tied to council directives we’d be seeing very high quality work and progressive decision making. I certainly think Urban Planners should be given more power over decision making and should not feel threatened by undue pressure from various sources."

"It’s been a polarizing debate this far, the differences in opinion about the proposal are vast. I can see why some people might not understand why CAMPP is concerned with the proposal at all, and because of that I’d be happy to discuss my perspective with anyone who is interested."

"Montreal’s MUHC is a very interesting project. I particularly like how it was constructed on a brownfield plot with great transit connections."

"#ACCESSIBILITY is a #SOCIALJUSTICE issue. It’s one of the many issues why building what will be our only hospital away from the city’s most dense neighbourhoods is a very poor planning strategy. Lets #ReThink and plan with conscience and responsibility"

"Thank you. Great points.  The  financial burden  on windsor taxpayers is irresponsible and fraudulent,  to pay for a hospital  for the  county. We have higher  property taxes now and high utility costs, that keep rising, this is not  sustainable or reasonable  or  fair . Look at  the costs of Adventure Bay  for example. There  is a history of questionable  judgement benefiting  which groups? I can tell  you not the taxpayer."
