$25 Help sponsor a resident outing. Each month groups of 12 -20 residents attend an event that they can walk to or reach by cab. Some events are close by and others require Transit Windsor or cabs. In the past year, our residents have gone to the Chili-fest, 5 plays at the Kordazone theatre, swimming at Windsor�s Water World (10 times), a tour of Willistead Manor, and daily walks or bike rides that frequently involve treats at Tim Horton�s.
$50 Help sponsor a resident school bus outing. Each month a larger group of 30 or more residents travel by school bus to various spots of interest in our community. We discuss possible outings at our monthly resident council meetings, so our residents have input into their activities/recreation program. In the past year we have gone to the mall to see a movie (4 times), dinner at Duffy�s in Amherstburg and tour of Christmas lights, Hawkfest at Holiday Beach, a Windsor Riverboat Cruise, Go-carting with Pizza at Point Pelee Karting and a visit to Point Pelee Park, a Spitfire game at WFCU, and a Harlem Globetrotters game at WFCU. Summer outings are currently being planned and go-carting and ice cream are on the agenda so far.
