In 1998, a group of former residents of the “McDougall
Street Corridor” in Windsor canvassed current and former
residents of the area to determine the level of interest in
holding a neighbourhood re-union. The
first celebration of the McDougall Street Reunion took place during
the second weekend of August, 2003. |
|
| |
| In 2005 the African Canadian
Community Centre of Windsor and Essex County has undertaken a project
to identify residences and businesses in the redevelopment zone.
CGI Information Systems and Management Consultants Inc. has generously
donated 18 panels of the 1952 Goad’s Underwriter’s
Maps of the City of Windsor to facilitate this project. |

 |
|
| The Neighbourhood Registry has been established

Mc Dougall Street “neighbourhood” which geographically
