- Presentation for Baker District redevelopment.
- Windmill Developments is thrilled to present the video series, “Sowing Change,” which explores the question: what does it take to build a better food future? In partnership with the City of Guelph, Windmill is developing a model sustainable community in the heart of downtown Guelph, called the Baker District. Unique to this development is a focus on making the Baker District a community that promotes and celebrates local and sustainable food. Guelph has a thriving food community that the Baker District aims to strengthen and support. Through the Sowing Change video series, Windmill intends to shine a spotlight on leaders within Guelph’s food community who are helping to create a more sustainable, accessible and resilient food system. Together, we will explore how we can build a better food system in Guelph and across Canada.
