For your comfort, most aspects of the Conference will be held at All Saints Anglican Church (330 City Hall Square West, Windsor ON N9A 1J3). While there will be fans, because our primary worship space is not air conditioned, we strongly encourage you to prepare and dress appropriately while observing the Bishop’s dress code. Tanner-Price (733 McDougall St.) is right around the corner and available for parking and visits.

We encourage you to support local businesses in Windsor for dinner: Saila Vibes, the DoubleTree’s River Room restaurant, The Keg, and restaurants at Caesars Windsor are nearby places to consider. For faster food and tighter budgets, Tim Hortons is a good place to start.

Getting to Windsor
To get to Windsor, you will need your passport (if you are entering Canada by air or car) or an Enhanced Driver's License (only if you are entering Canada by car). You can:
- Drive, entering the hotel or meeting addresses in your GPS.
- Fly to Detroit International Airport (DTW) and get a ride across the border with a colleague who is crossing the Canadian order at a time complimentary to your flight arrival.
- Fly into Windsor, Ontario Airport (YQG) and Uber or take a Taxi to the DoubleTree Hotel (333 Riverside Drive West) or Tanner-Price (733 McDougall St.) (25-minutes).
- Fly into Detroit International Airport (DTW), Uber (or otherwise navigate) to the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel Bus in downtown Detroit, near the Rosa Parks Bus Terminal, and take that bus to the Windsor International Bus Terminal. You will have to exit the bus to present yourself at the border crossing. The Windsor & University stop after the border crossing is a 4-minute walk from to All Saints'. This is not the most time efficient option.
