Windsor as a Retirement Destination

"WEARCI" has been spreading the word about Windsor-Essex as a retirement haven.

WEARCI estimates that more than 1,000 retirees have come to the region from the year 2010 when initiatives began to 2015.

“People are moving here. People are recognizing you can sell your million-dollar home in Toronto or out west, come here, put money in the bank, and still live in a million-dollar home — for less.”
