Free recreational activities such as skating, swimming, basketball, and pickleball were offered at municipal and community recreation facilities through the annual Family in Motion Day sponsored by Southwestern Ontario in Motion and South West Area Recreation Guild.

Families supported by the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Society benefited from donations of food, thanks to a number of local businesses.
