“Detroit and Canada are bridged in friendship.”That’s the message on a banner that will be flown over the Detroit River this weekend as part of a community-led effort in Detroit. The Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) is assisting a group of individuals from Metro Detroit with the initiative to fly a 30-by-9-foot aerial banner along the Detroit River on Monday, October 12, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Speaking on AM800’s Mornings with Mike and Meg, Downtown Detroit Partnership CEO Eric B. Larson says the effort is a simple thank-you that represents how important the relationship is between Detroit and Canada. He says the relationship is an honour and DDP is excited to assist with the initiative. “We have for a long time, well before the current conversation that’s going on, recognized the importance of this relationship,” says Larson. “We have friends, family, and obviously co-workers that are so critically important to not just our daily lives but just the joy and quite frankly the success that our bi-national border has represented.”Ambassador Bridge Lights illuminate the Ambassador Bridge that stretches between Windsor, Ont. and Detroit, Mich. on Thursday, March 6, 2025.
