City offering free rec program

The City of Windsor is offering free recreational programming in a downtown park again this summer.

The "SUPIE" program in Mitchell Park is running seven days a week from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. until August 31, 2024.

“So excited that the city has renewed their partnership with the Downtown Windsor Community Collaborative, added more City of Windsor staff, improved program plans and equipment inventory. It will be another summer of quality programming for the SUPIE Program participants,” said Renaldo Agostino, Ward 3 Councillor.

Last year, 168 children registered for the program that offered free programming ran by the city's recreational staff.

The goal of the program is to increase park usage, remove barriers to recreational programming and decrease undesirable activities in the park.

Participants much register for the free program by visiting www.ActiveWindsor.ca or calling central registration at 519-255-1161.
