LaSalle, Ontario

Favorite thing: LaSalle, a town in southwestern Ontario, is situated in Essex County. It is on the border of the Detroit River and is south of the City of Windsor. The population of Lasalle was 27 781 in a recent census. LaSalle, along with Windsor, is the oldest French settlement area in southwestern Ontario, and oldest continually inhabited European settlement in Canada west of the Quebec border. Now considered to be a bedroom community of Windsor, Lasalle is often cited as an example of Urban Sprawl; tracts of Canada's most valuable agricultural land has been covered by unsustainable development.

Fondest memory: One of LaSalle's biggest events is the annual Strawberry Festival, which takes place on the first weekend in June.
