Mayor Drew Dilkens calls it a "historic" change which will be in place until the end of the COVID19 pandemic

Windsor is joining the wave of municipalities moving to remote council meetings to adhere to social distancing protocols.

At a special meeting Tuesday, council voted unanimously to allow councillors to take part in meetings electronically from home.

In a tweet following the meeting, mayor Drew Dilkens called it a "historic" change which will be in place until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dilkens, himself, has been attending recent meetings electronically since his return from a vacation to Jordan — he's currently in the second week of a 14-day quarantine.
