(Chris Campbell/CTV News Windsor) “If you took my eight years on council, smashed it up into a building, this is what it's all about,” he said. “Historic preservation, you know, a restoration that is just beautiful in a BIA in one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city. This is what it's all about. For me personally and for the entire campaign.”
Supporters and volunteers were on hand with just 79 days to go until the municipal election on Oct. 24.
Current Mayor Drew Dilkens has yet to declare his intentions at this point.
