The WECBC

Collectively we are stronger. By working together, government, industry and communities can work to address long standing social issues such as unemployment, underemployment, workforce training, environmental concerns, housing, and more in our community.

The WECBC believes that the community should have an opportunity to provide input on community benefits. Key partnerships between impacted residents, key institutions, labour, and community agencies are required to maximize the benefits from projects in our region. This can be achieved through community conversation, outreach and collective action.

In 2018, we received a grant from the Atkinson Foundation with the mandate to build upon the work in Sandwich Towne and expand it to reach out to the wider Windsor and Essex community. As a result, the first full time staff member was hired.

The Coalition will continue to engage local community residents, institutions and community groups who will be impacted by future major infrastructure projects in Windsor and Essex County. We will work to seek opportunities to advocate for municipal social procurement policies and Community Benefit Agreements that are rooted in the needs expressed by impacted communities.
