Art Windsor-Essex respectfully acknowledges that we are located on Anishinaabe Territory – the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations, comprised of the Ojibway, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi. Today the Anishinaabe of the Three Fires Confederacy are represented by Bkejwanong. We want to state our respect for the ancestral and ongoing authority of Walpole Island First Nation over its Territory.

Every year, cities around the world organize Jane’s Walks to celebrate and explore their neighbourhoods. Led by volunteers and free to attend, these guided walks and talks introduce participants to the history, ecology, architecture, and people that shape local communities. This year, Windsor-Essex Jane’s Walk is hosting 55 events across more than 20 neighbourhoods—highlighting a strong desire for community-led programs that help us better understand the world around us. What can we learn from these walks, and how might they inspire us to see our everyday spaces in new ways?
Windsor-Essex is one of the oldest settlements in Ontario, however much of our built-history has been lost. Groups and organizations around the region are working to preserve historic buildings through grassroots work and advocacy. In this panel discussion, we will explore local historic buildings and the efforts to save, preserve, and celebrate them. This panel is in collaboration with the upcoming Windsor-Essex Jane’s Walk Festival.
Moderated by Tammy Dewhirst, Windsor-Essex Jane’s Walk
Speakers:
- David Garlick, member of Les Amis Duff-Bâby
- Mary-Katherine Whelan, Curator/Administrator of the Amherstburg Freedom Museum
- Ken Acton, The Windsor Region Society of Architects
