We heard from residents that McKee Park is an important place to the Sandwich community, and we are excited to partner with the City of Windsor to contribute to a project that will enhance the green space and waterfront access for Sandwich residents and visitors,” said Bryce Phillips, CEO, Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority.
