Memorial locations across the country are a powerful way to honour victims and survivors, and to remind people about the tragic and lasting consequences of impaired driving. This memorial garden provides not only a moment of reflection for families and friends of victims and survivors, but also a call to action—to commit ourselves to ending impaired driving and to supporting those who have been affected by this crime.
MADD Windsor & Essex County is grateful to the support of its sponsors, including St. Clair College, St. Clair College Alumni Association, Caesars Windsor Cares, Windsor Port Authority, and the City of Windsor (Parks Development).
