Windsor is a town on the move. With a new twinned highway at its doorstep and freight rail access, this "Little Town of Big Firsts" is poised for major economic growth.

Companies like BioMedica Diagnostics, an emerging leader in diagnostic technology, are part of a growing cluster of life sciences companies operating in the region.

With its close proximity to Halifax, Atlantic Canada's largest metropolitan centre, globally minded companies like Sepracor Canada have also realized the value of making Windsor their operational base.

Internationally renowned King's Edgehill School, established in 1788, is located in Windsor and is Canada's first independent school.

The town's strong ties to agriculture are celebrated annually at the Hants County Exhibition, North America's longest running agricultural fair and through nationally acclaimed "made in Windsor" events like the annual Pumpkin Weigh-off and Regatta. Windsor is also the "birthplace of hockey" and home-base to the world-renowned puppet theatre company, Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia.
