Affordable housing fast-tracked for Caldwells and The Bridge WINDSOR — About 61 new affordable dwelling units are being fasttracked for development across Windsor-Essex, with eight units being located at The Bridge Youth Resource Centre in Leamington and another 26 units being developed by Caldwell First Nation.

Hussen announced nearly $20 million in federal funding to create the 61 new affordable homes for individuals and families through the Rapid Housing Initiative. The units will support Canadians who are in uncertain housing situations. The Bridge Youth Resource Centre will have eight such units for young adults, women, Indigenous people and black
Canadians. A second project operated by Windsor Essex Community Housing
third project, also operated by WECHC, will be on Bloomfield in Windsor where there will be 12 units.

Vaccination centre to cease operations WINDSOR – Windsor and Essex County residents have until 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 2 to walk in and get vaccinated against COVID-19 at the Devonshire Mall vaccination clinic. The clinic will close on that date. Until then, current hours are Tuesdays 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Wednesdays to Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For grade 7-12 students who have not started or completed their vaccination series for Hepatitis B, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and/or Meningococcal Disease and want to receive the vaccine at Devonshire Mall, they must book an
appointment before April 1 (pending appointment availability). The vaccination clinic, located in the former Sears outlet at the north end of the mall, opened as a COVID-19 vaccination centre on Monday, June 21, 2021. Since that time, more than 125,000 first and second doses have been administered, as well as close to 96,000 third and fourth “booster” shot vaccinations. Earlier this month, the clinic began offering catch-up immunizations for local students in grades 7 to 12, as well as continuing to offer walk-in requests for eligible first, second or third and fourth vaccina-
tions against COVID-19. To stay up-to-date on hours of operation, participating locations and COVID-19 vaccine eligibility, visit www.WEVax.ca. Free transportation, childcare and accessibility supports are available to help individuals attend a COVID-19 vaccination location. View the available supports at www.wechu. org/vaxsupports. The Devonshire Mall vaccination centre has been a collaborative effort of the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit, Windsor Regional Hospital and the City of Windsor.
Leamington is always appreciative of funding that improves the quality of life for its residents,” she said. “The Bridge Youth Resource Centre has been a tremendous resource for vulnerable young people in our community since they opened their doors. Providing monies for valuable assets in Canadian communities is money well spent.” The Bridge project is expected to be substantially complete by this summer, while the Caldwell project is expected to be complete by the end of summer.
