It's going to be a hot week and a stormy weekend. Thankfully, there's plenty of indoor and outdoor events to choose from!

Congratulations to the class of 2026! As you step into this exciting new chapter, we hope you'll take your talents, passions, and fresh ideas and put them to work right here in our amazing city. Windsor is full of opportunity, and it's people like YOU who make it thrive. From everyone here at What's Happening: Windsor, we wish you all the best.

Please copy and paste into your yearbook - I know we don't really know each other even though I sat behind you in class all year but I hope you have a great summer! Good luck with the guys/girls! I hope to see you next year!

What caught my eye this week: Dot painting workshop - Roller Derby! - Tecumseh F7 Festival - Devo! - Poutine Feast
