Windsor city councillors have 46 questions still waiting on answers from City staff, according to the City's own tracker of outstanding council questions, dated Oct. 29, 2026. The list is on the agenda for Council's Monday, Nov. 9 meeting, under Question Period.

Council questions are how a councillor asks City staff to report back on an issue. The tracker lists each one with the date it was asked, the councillor who asked it and the department responsible.

How old they are

33 of the 46 outstanding questions were asked in 2026.

6 were asked in 2025, 3 in 2024, 3 in 2023 and 1 in 2020.

The oldest, CQ 4-2020, was asked on Feb. 3, 2020 by Coun. Kieran McKenzie. It asks staff for a comparative analysis of affordable housing frameworks and incentives in comparable municipalities. It has been open for more than six and a half years.

What it means for you

Some of the open questions touch daily life directly:

Speed limits: On May 25, 2026, Coun. Gary Kaschak asked staff to revisit a 40 km/h limit for all residential streets, instead of the 50 km/h on most of them (CQ13-2026).

Street parking and snow clearing: On May 11, 2026, Coun. Jo-Anne Gignac asked for a city-wide review of on-street parking that considers garbage and organics collection, snow clearing and street sweeping, including options such as winter parking limits (CQ12-2026).

Encampments: On June 8, 2026, Coun. Frazier Fathers asked staff to report on the City's encampment response, including how many encampments there are on average and what the response costs (CQ14-2026).

Former Benson school: On April 27, 2026, Coun. Fathers asked staff to report on whether the City could buy the former Benson school on Wyandotte Street for its housing portfolio (CQ10-2026). The same building is up for heritage designation at a Nov. 9 committee meeting.

Who asked

By councillor, the 46 open questions were asked by Renaldo Agostino (12), Kieran McKenzie (11), Mark McKenzie (6), Frazier Fathers (5), Angelo Marignani (5), Gary Kaschak (4), Jo-Anne Gignac (1) and Fred Francis (1).

The same agenda also carries the City's list of outstanding council directives as of Nov. 9 (item 18.1).
