The NDP candidate for Windsor-Tecumseh says she will work with government partners to protect the former Abars property from future development.
The land at Lauzon Road and Riverside Drive is currently owned by the Detroit International Bridge Company, owners of the Ambassador Bridge.
Ive secured the commitment from the Ontario NDP party that they will be partners in this acquisition by the public sector and for community use, said Gemma Grey-Hall, NDP candidate for Windsor-Tecumseh.
Grey-Hall says the land should be protected to mitigate the impacts of climate change and reduce flooding in the community.
We want to make sure that we are listening to the conservation authority that we have here in Ontario and we know that they have been ringing the flag when it comes to climate change specifically, the importance of green spaces and the importance of flood mitigation, said Grey-Hall.
The provincial election is on June 2. Also running in Windsor-Tecumseh are Gary Kaschak for the Liberal Party, Andrew Dowie for the Progressive Conservatives, Steven Gifford for the Ontario Party, Melissa Coulbeck for the Green Party, Sophia Sevo for the New Blue Party, David Sylvestre with the None of the Above Direct Democracy Party, Giovanni Abati, Nick Babic, and Laura Chesnik.
