For the first time in its 25-year history, Ford Fest was held in the Rose City<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, Ford Fest officially kicked off at the Windsor Ciociaro Club, located at 3745 North Talbot RD. in Oldcastle Ont. The event runs until 9 p.m<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Windsor\u2019s AM800, the event will feature a meet-and-greet with Ontario Premier Doug Ford, and includes free food and entertainment. Local and provincial PC MPPs are also expected to attend, along with Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event initially began 25 years ago as a family barbeque and used to be held in the backyard of Ford\u2019s mother\u2019s home<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his opening remarks, Ford addressed southwestern Ontario\u2019s role in the automotive sector, including billions of dollars in investments in Volkswagen and Stellantis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ford also mentioned infrastructure projects, including the widening of Highway 3 between Essex and Leamington and the construction of a new interchange connecting Lauzon Parkway to Highway 401<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absent from his opening remarks however were the results of\u00a0a scathing report from the auditor general<\/a>\u00a0in which certain developers were favoured\u201d following the province\u2019s decision to open the Greenbelt for housing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a press conference held Friday morning<\/a>\u00a0in Mississauga, Ford told reporters that \u201cno one has preferential treatment\u201d when it came to choosing what parts of the Greenbelt would be used for development<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ford also attended the University of Windsor where CTV News Windsor\u2019s Ricardo Veneza was there<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
