The new statue is an inspiring new waterfront attraction for tourists and residents to enjoy. The sailboat statue will provide an opportunity for visitors to capture their experiences and the landmark scenery offered by Lakeshore’s beautiful waterfront and serves as a new gateway to popular Lakeview Park and Belle River Marina. Members of the media are invited to attend the official unveiling of this new addition to Lakeshore’s beautiful waterfront, join us for photo and interview opportunities, and learn more about the WindsorEssex Community Foundation’s 40th Anniversary celebrations.
