- A documentary film outlining the history of Windsor, Ontario. Made by filmmaker Charles Fox.
With special thanks to Elaine Weeks for always preserving local history.
This is an incredible time capsule. The way they talk, with that weird mix of Canadian and American accents is shown so well here. Thank you Michael for putting this priceless document of history here for all to see. These two ladies are about my moms age. I wonder if she knew them.
It would be great to show this on one of those grade school style projectors from the 70s.
My parents home on the Detroit River across from Belle Island was originally a French Canadian homestead. The land was in my families ownership for 100 + years .
Thank you so much!
Very cool short film i loved the shots of old windsor at the end thanks to who ever made it
I went to General Brock public school right across the road from the church at 3:52. Lived two blocks down from there on Sandwich ST close to South ST.
Thank you for this video i love windsor ontario
Fascinating, seeing the history of my hometown. Do you know what year this film was made? Seems around the 1950's. I was always disappointed that Windsor destroyed it's heritage buildings, including St Mary's.
I don't know the uear, but think it is the mid to late 1960's
I moved to the city in 1979, I though it was a great place to live,work. I left 7 years ago and have regretted it😢
4:40 she said Windsor got there first church St. Alphonsus.. is this because Sandwich was separate from Windsor at that time? Assumption is the oldest so I’m a bit confused
CE "Charlie "Fox was quite a guy. I was lucky enough to buy his rusty '64 Ford Econoline Van that used to carry all of his equipment.
I was in a production with the Windsor light opera in the 60s "Oliver Twist "

Hello Michael I love your channel. I am very much interestd in the history of Windsor. is there a seaprate school board archive of films? In the Griffen hill video I am pretty sure there is a picture of me sitting on the hill for the Honeymoom Suite concert.
When was this documentary filmed?
I do not know. I guess1970.
What year was this documentary created please.
It doesn't say anywhere. If I had to guess I would say mid to late 1960's
@@MikeEvansWindsor Thank you, from Walkerville.
What year was this made?
It doesn't say. A guess is late 60's or early 70's.
Im guessing 60's as well just by the look of fashion
Ok, 4th movie seen now. It was Charles Fox from the corner of Argyle and Cataraqui because thst's Cindy Hayden, who lived upstairs, and Vicki Lucier, who lived just down the street. I'd estimate that this was filmed around 1971-1972.
Did we forget All Saints before St. Alphonsus? Originally a mission of St. John's Sandwich
I believe the people who made this documentary are all deceased.
No worries it was interesting just the same.
Cute, but what about the French history of the region?
They talked a out thd French Settlers at the beginning of this short documentary.
Let's sum up that Windsor Ontario was the best city previously.Because Windsor Ontario has not been around lately, maybe as before I don't know how it was before according to what the video summarizes but it is a lot different so it is no longer the same.I say this because Windsor Ontario is very abandoned as if the city does not take pity on Windsor, some homeless people on the street have a lot of disorder, a lot of garbage and so on, they only know how to clean perhaps the side that is more occupied by some passers-by.
