Easy access to a destination is an important factor in
determining a convention site. Windsor, Canada's southernmost city, is this country's
busiest port of entry. Strategically located on the Detroit River, the Windsor-Detroit
area is within 800 kilometres (500 miles) of 100 million Canadian and American residents.
Linking Windsor to most North American destinations is an international network of
railway, highway and freeway systems. There is also convenient access to Windsor and
Detroit airports, allowing easy connections to all major world cities.
