The Market Place


Lakeshore is part of the Windsor-Essex County peninsula, which is central to North America’s manufacturing and high technology industries.

Our area is strategic. It’s home to 375,000 people on the Canadian side of the Detroit River and there are 4.5 million people in the adjacent areas of Detroit and Southeastern Michigan... all just within 40 miles (65 km.) of us.

Lighthouse and waterWe, and Windsor-Essex County, are home to the Canadian headquarters of the Daimler Chrysler Corporation, along with major elements of Ford of Canada, General Motors of Canada and in addition, Nemak, Lear, Quality Safety Systems, Magna International, Shukra, FlexNGate, the H.J. Heinz Company and Hiram Walker Walker & Sons Ltd., among many others.

In short, access to the largest consuming market place in the world is just minutes away!

Our temperate peninsula allows us to enjoy the longest and most favourable growing climate in Canada. It averages more than 200 days each year, and we have also become home to the finest of viniculture, with Essex County wineries attracting international favour and awards.
