For Town of Tecumseh residents, the impact of a new partnership with the University of Windsor could turn up in familiar places — along the trails they walk, in the services they rely on and in the books stacked on their bedside tables. 

The five-year partnership will create opportunities for University students and researchers to work alongside the Town on local priorities.
