YAHOO! THE GAMES ARE COMING TO WINDSOR!

International Children’s Games (ICG) Secured for Windsor Essex in 2013



The  ICG Committee announced that in a unanimous decision Windsor Essex has been awarded the 2013 Summer Games. And this is great news for local businesses in the hospitality industry!

Mayor Eddie Francis traveled to Bahrain to deliver a bid presentation to the 18 member ICG Committee. The Mayor highlighted the merits of Windsor Essex as a viable and preferred sport destination for this much sought after group.

The only youth sporting event officially sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the ICG is an organization that fosters peace and friendship through sport for youth between the ages of 12 to 15 years of age.

Over 2,000 athletes, coaches, family members and dignitaries will converge on Windsor Essex in June of 2013.

"Windsor is honoured to have been selected to host the largest youth sporting event in the world in 2013," said Mayor Eddie Francis. "The world wide exposure of Windsor Essex that will be gained is priceless."

"Windsor Essex has proven that they have the infrastructure and more importantly the passion and desire to host our Games," saysTorsten Rasch, President of the International Children's Games. "We feel confident in the Mayor and the City's ability to deliver a world class sporting event."

Windsor Gets Spot On Canadian Monopoly board

The wait is over, and the verdict is in: Windsor is "on the board".

Windsor finished in 6th place, which means the most expensive yellow property on the board. This was a jump of two spots over 8th place, where Windsor sat on the leader board at the start of the blacked-out final week of voting in February.

“I was starting to get nervous, but we moved up two spots! Congratulations,” said Mayor Francis. “Thank you for being part of this exciting opportunity. We’re now on the board!”

Windsor competed with 64 other Canadian cities that were short-listed for the competition. Neighbouring Chatham-Kent won the top spot on the board, and Sarnia came in 4th. Mayor Francis congratulates our neighbours and acknowledged the big victory for South-western Ontario.

Pete McLeod Comes To Town

On Friday May 21st, the Biz X team had an opportunity to once again interview Red Bull Air Race Pilot from London, ON - - Pete McLeod.

McLeod is the youngest pilot, not to mention the first-ever Canadian to participate in the Red Bull Air Race Championships and is taking the 2010 series by storm – climbing to a remarkable 5th place in the standings after stops in Abu Dhabi, Perth and Rio de Janeiro so far this year.

The May 2010 issue of Biz X featured an exclusive interview with McCleod and on May 21st Della and Colin Jones were able to snap a shot of Pete catching up on all the great stuff (and his story inside of course!) in this month's issue.

McLeod is now  preparing for the air races in Windsor on June 5 and 6, when Red Bull flies back into town! Look for more photos of our Canadian ace and the other pilots in our upcoming summer issue.

Welcome back Pete and good luck!
