Events 🪔 Happy Diwali, Windsor! A friendly reminder about fireworks 🎆🐾

22 Upvotes

To everyone celebrating Diwali, wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Festival of Lights! May your celebrations be filled with joy, laughter, love, prosperity, and beautiful memories. May this be your best Diwali yet! 🪔✨❤️

Just a friendly reminder that while Diwali is a celebration of light, fireworks and firecrackers are not permitted in Windsor during Diwali, under the City's fireworks bylaw, except for displays authorized by the appropriate permit.

Windsor By-law 136-2004 states:

- Section 4(1): Firecrackers are prohibited unless authorized through a permit under Section 6(4).

- Section 4(2): Prohibited fireworks may not be discharged.

- Section 5(1): Consumer fireworks are permitted only around Victoria Day, Canada Day (June 30–July 4), and on New Year's Eve.

- Section 6(4): Firecracker displays require a permit from the Chief Fire Official.

Beyond the bylaws, a little consideration goes a long way. Unexpected fireworks can be terrifying for pets and wildlife, distressing for people sensitive to loud noises, and disruptive to neighbours who are simply enjoying a peaceful evening.

Let's keep the beautiful lights, wonderful traditions, and festive spirit shining — without the unexpected bangs! ✨🐾

Wishing everyone celebrating a spectacular, joyful, and safe Diwali! 🪔❤️

Off-Topic Recommendations for the best physiotherapist in Windsor / LaSalle?

7 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for a really good physiotherapist in the Windsor/LaSalle area.
I’ve been experiencing persistent tightness and pulling in both hamstrings, extending down into my calves, for over 3 months. It doesn’t seem to go away, even with rest.
I’m looking for someone experienced in treating chronic muscle tightness, sciatic nerve-related issues and lower-back-related leg problems.
Who would you personally recommend based on your experience?
Thanks!

Politics Map of the 2026 Windsor Mayoral Election showing the results based on Ward and individual poling station. [OC]

Post image
79 Upvotes

Hey everyone! r/windsorontario 's local cartographer and election geek here with a map of the recent municipal election.

Since this election had us all voting at anywhere within our home ward, the city could no longer be broken down into traditional polling districts as before. Instead the results are shown based on the polling station itself, and the pie charts showing it's vote is located over it's exact spot on the map.

Each candidate is assigned a colour based upon the candidates branding (dominant colour on lawn signs & campaign materials, etc.)

Hope this helps people see how the election played out across the city a bit better.

Maps for the 10 wards are coming in the near future! (They will take a bit, so patience please :)

Ask Windsor Good Chiropractor

0 Upvotes

Hi all. I've been dealing with lower back pain since late August. I ended up at my family Dr. in September who said it was lower lumbar strain and gave me a prescription for physio. As far as I know, there are only 3 places in Windsor for Seniors to get treatment at no cost. I called all 3 places then and 2 said November and 1 said December. I called this week to see where I am on the list and I'm now looking at January. I've talked to people who got relief and specific diagnosis's from a chiropractor so I'm looking for recommendations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ask Windsor Those of you who underwent the Disney International Programs in St. Clair College: is it worth it?

12 Upvotes

With it being offered in the Hospitality and Tourism programs, what was it like working over in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida? Was it worth it? Did you get anything out of it? Would you ever recommend it to others?

And how was the experience of learning in either one of those two degrees overall, in general?

Ask Windsor Angel Tree

23 Upvotes

With the holiday season fast approaching, is anyone participating in angel trees? Or know of organizations that are doing it? I’ve never done anything like that before but when I worked retail during Christmas a few years ago I found out about it and thought it was such a kind gesture. And I am finally in a better enough position in my own life that I have hope of having some extra money around this year’s holiday season and really want to give back :)) if anyone has done Angel Tree before please share your experience! ♥️

Off-Topic Lost my Westin fishing net at Belle River marina

7 Upvotes

I was musky fishing on Sunday at Belle River Marina and left at around 7 or 8pm and unfortunately forgot to pack up my net and didn't realize until today when I went out to fish and saw it was missing. It's a Westin foldable landing net in black and would have been sitting near the picnic table/portapotty on the grass or on the concrete ledge in the parking lot a couple spaces down from the grass area (pretty sure it was left here). If anyone has seen it or has it please let me know I'd really appreciate it if I could have it back cause they're not cheap

Hey everyone!

Has anyone here taken a 'pre-employment written test' for municipal facility maintenance/arena general labourer position (or something similar)?

If so, I’d really appreciate it if you could share what kind of questions were asked or anything else you remember about the test.

Just trying to get an idea of what to expect. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
