Centenarians

 In 2017, as part of Windsor’s 125th anniversary, Mayor Dilkens began recognizing Windsor Centenarians – residents that are part of a generation that helped define our community and are living links to the rich history of our city. Since then, dozens of Windsor residents have been recognized.
 

 

“They are important contributors to what Windsor is today, and recognizing their milestone birthdays is an honour and a privilege.”

– Mayor Drew Dilkens
 

Below are residents who have received this recognition for their 100th (or greater) birthday:

Recognized as one of Canada’s most diverse and multicultural communities, the City of Windsor was developed on land that is the traditional territory of the Anishnaabeg people of the Three Fires Confederacy (Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa). Before Europeans arrived, the land along the Detroit River was referred to as Wawiiatanong by the Indigenous populations. Due to Windsor’s unique location along the Detroit River many different groups have called this area home including: Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron (Neutral), and Huron (Wyandot) peoples. Today, many indigenous people and Métis across Turtle Island call this area home.
