What's Happening: Windsor

Tornado warnings and thunderstorms, what a crazy week of weather! More thunderstorms are on the way so be careful and be aware of watches and warnings. Remember, a storm "watch" when there is potential for bad weather, a "warning" means it is imminant.
The Windsor Spitfires are 3-0 in their second round of the playoffs against the Flint Firebirds. Unfortuantely, our Windsor Express went 1-3 against the KW Titans and are now out of the playoffs. Ontario Permiere League begins April 17th when the Windsor City FC Men battle North Mississauga at St.Clair College. Tecumseh United FC Women battle against Whitby FC Women away on the 18th.
We have lots of events this week. If you do not see the sports section at the bottom, look for the link to show the full email.

The lead actors – theatre veteran Robert Shaw and young Hollywood hotshots Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider – are crammed into a too-small boat, entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. Alcohol flows, egos collide, and tempers flare on a chaotic voyage that just might lead to cinematic magic… if it doesn’t sink them all. Step aboard the Orca and into THE SHARK IS BROKEN, a “profound dive behind the scenes of the making of JAWS”
