The University of Windsor welcomed one of Canada’s most influential voices in environmental science and advocacy, Dr. David Suzuki, for a wide-ranging and candid evening that challenged audiences to confront the realities of climate change and their own role in it.

Hosted by the Faculty of Science, the School of the Environment and the Healthy Headwaters Lab, An Evening with Dr. David Suzuki drew a sold-out audience from across campus and Windsor-Essex. 

The Windsor-Detroit region has an extensive and rich history of cross-border connection, including as a key gateway in the Underground Railroad. 

A pair of events next week highlight the longstanding international ties across the Detroit River and the role this region played in helping formerly enslaved people escape to freedom.
