Your Neighbourhood. Your Vision.
A community-led initiative to improve the Bruce Park Neighbourhood, powered by your ideas.
About the Project
Downtown Windsor Community Collaborative (DWCC) is partnering with the City of Windsor and County of Essex to bring the Pathway to Potential Neighbourhoods Program to the Bruce Park neighbourhood.
This new initiative is focused on community well-being through ground-up change led by the experience, insight, and leadership of neighbours.
What Is Pathway to Potential?
Pathway to Potential (P2P) is a regional strategy led by local government and community partners. It supports programs and policies that help reduce poverty and promote equity in Windsor and Essex County. Learn more about the larger initiative here:

Upcoming Neighbourhood Action Council Meetings
Join your neighbours to discuss practical ways to work toward the community of our dreams.

Got a great neighbour? Let them know!
Every street has that one person who makes life brighter. Maybe they share their garden veggies, shovel your sidewalk without asking, or they just always greet you with a friendly smile.
Now is your chance to celebrate them! Nominate them for recognition as a Block Star and show them how much they matter.
They’ll get a handwritten thank-you from the P2P Neighbourhoods Program and a $25 gift card for each of you to a local restaurant (plus you’ll make their day).
*Must live in the Bruce Park Village boundaries to qualify: between Caron Avenue and Pelissier, and between University and Erie Street*
Because good neighbours make great neighbourhoods.
