Lana Talbot’s dream inched closer to reality Tuesday when Sandwich First Baptist Church received another funding boost for its Underground Railroad museum project.
The 182-year-old church’s heritage coordinator accepted a $500 donation from the Windsor and District Labour Council to help pay for the museum. It will eventually sit behind the historic religious structure on Peter Street where thousands who escaped slavery in the U.S. sought refuge.

Innovative technologies are anticipated for the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which is expected to be open by the end of 2024.
Details have yet to be confirmed but seamless functions for commercial and passenger users is a critical aspect of the bridge design, said Mark Butler, communications director for the Windsor Detroit Bridge Authority.
Features so far include dedicated truck lanes on the bridge and points of entries; driver-friendly road lighting; safety design accommodations such as dealing with truck breakdowns with minimal impact on traffic flow, and an on-site weather monitoring station for notifications of weather conditions, Butler said.
