The Ambassador Bridge, which links Windsor with Detroit, is the busiest crossing between the two countries

The Ambassador Bridge is a privately-owned suspension bridge which connects Detroit, Michigan, in the United States, with Windsor, Ontario, in Canada. The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel also connects these two cities.

The bridge, over the Detroit River, had the largest central span in the world when it was completed in 1929 - 1,850 foot (564 m). The total bridge length is 7,500 feet (2,286 m). The roadway rises 152 feet (46 m) above the Detroit River. It is the busiest international border crossing in North America in terms of trade volume: more than 25% of all merchandise trade between the United States and Canada crosses the bridge.

This collection of parks is now one park, but at one time was several that blended seamlessly together. It goes by many nicknames, such as "Riverwalk", "Riverfront Park" and the "Riverside Park". The parks were gradually converted from numerous rail yards into one long connected park, 3 miles (5 km) long, from the foot of the Ambassador Bridge, to Hiram Walker's Canadian Club distillery. Although the vast majority of the park allows people to fish along its edge, doing so isn't recommended due to the pollution of the Detroit River. Caution must be taken while riding a bicycle along the Riverfront trail, due to young children, crowds of people walking, occasional sharp curves of the bike trail, and the large amount of Canadian Geese and other migratory birds that rest and walk along the parkland and trails. Because of this, a city-posted speedlimit of 20 km/h (12 mph) is in effect on the trail.

Freemasonry is a fraternal organization whose membership is held together by a shared set of moral and metaphysical ideals. Groups of Freemasons are called lodges, while the buildings in which they meet are sometimes referred to as temples. Temples may house the meetings of numerous Masonic lodges, as well as other Masonic groups such as Scottish Rite bodies or Knight Templar commanderies.

There are thousands of Masonic temples around the world. One of them is in Windsor.

The Detroit River is about 51 km (32 miles) long and 1 to 4 km (0.5 to 2.5 miles) wide in the Great Lakes system. The name comes from French Rivière du Détroit, i.e. "River of the Strait". The name is a reference to the fact that the river connects Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie. However, it is not a strait by definition. The boundary between Canada and the United States of America passes through the river lengthwise. Its elevation is 175 meters (579 feet) above sea level.
