Support Windsor News
Windsor News is independent local news, owned and run here in Windsor. Readers like you keep it that way.
Starting Nov. 1, Council Watch follows Windsor's new council for the whole term: what members promised, how they vote, where the money goes and the questions the City has not answered. Every claim links the public record so you can check it yourself.
That work takes time: reading agendas and budgets, sitting through meetings, filing freedom-of-information requests and waiting for the answers. Reader support pays for that time. It means we answer to you, not to the people we cover.
Why reader support matters
- It keeps council coverage independent. Money from readers comes with no strings. No one who gives can ask us to cover, change, delay or drop a story.
- It keeps the news free. Every story, the weekly digest and Council Watch stay free to read for everyone in Windsor-Essex.
- It pays for records. Freedom-of-information requests have fees. Support helps us file them and post what comes back.

Supporters never steer the news
Supporters and sponsors never influence our coverage. No one can pay to have a story published, changed, delayed or removed, and giving does not buy access, interviews or a say in what we cover. We cover supporters the same way we cover anyone else. Our council, freedom-of-information and accountability coverage is never sponsored. Read our ethics and standards.
About tax receipts
Windsor News is published by Fenrir Productions, a sole proprietorship. It is not a registered charity, so we cannot issue tax receipts for donations. Your support is a gift to keep local news going, not a tax-deductible donation.
