WINDSOR -- Windsor’s Ward 7 might not have a sitting city councillor but the city still wants the public to know what’s going on in the area.

The City of Windsor has re-scheduled the ward 7 public meeting for Wednesday night 6:30 at the Riverside Sportsmen’s Club.

The meeting was postponed after ward Coun. Irek Kusmierczyk was elected as the new Member of Parliament for Windsor-Tecumseh on Oct. 21.

Mayor Drew Dilkens will host this meeting with city administration on hand to field questions.

Ward 7 residents will elect a new councillor to replace Kusmierczyk in a by-election, scheduled to take place on April 27.

Mayor Dilkens hosts a Ward 7 public meeting, the last of 10 to be held across the city, Wednesday night at 10835 Riverside Drive East, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. #YQG Learn more: https://t.co/nu2jgwfwTR pic.twitter.com/kaASuTomv0
