Having a pet teaches kids responsibility such as providing them with food and water at least twice a day. Pets also help […]
Re: Dilkens uses strong mayor powers to pitch new tax hike to fund downtown Windsor revamp (Taylor Campbell, Apr. 24) Your recent article regarding increasing property taxes to help revitalize Windsor’s downtown reminded me of a letter I sent to the Windsor Star after the dedication of the WFCU Centre in 2008.
