Inside Elevate Medical Spa, where beauty begins with confidence and care
By Layan Barakat
As someone who has spent most of her life immersed in the fashion and beauty world, I have collected a mental library of quotes from the greats. After chopping all my hair off, I couldn’t resist posting a cheeky photo with Coco Chanel’s famous line: “A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.” When putting on the finishing touches to an elegant outfit, it’s John Galliano’s words that run through my mind, “The joy of dressing is an art.” So, when I caught up with Amy O’Kane, founder of Elevate Medical Spa, it was another quote that surfaced, one from Vivienne Westwood: “There are no rules to beauty.” A sentiment that perfectly captures the spirit of Elevate Medical Spa.
Amy’s journey through aesthetic medicine is as personal as her philosophy on beauty itself. A Registered Nurse (BScN, RN) with over two decades of experience, she began her career as a medical aesthetician before expanding into advanced injectables, a unique combination that gives Elevate its signature holistic approach. “At its core, Elevate is about lifting people up,” she tells me. In practice, that means creating personalized treatment plans that enhance each client’s natural features, confidence, and sense of self. Amy’s background is the foundation of Elevate’s patient-centric philosophy.
At its core, Elevate is about lifting people up. In practice, that means creating personalized treatment plans that enhance each client’s natural features, confidence, and sense of self.
With more than 21 years in medical aesthetics, including 14 as an aesthetic nurse injector, she brings a rare blend of clinical expertise and artistic intuition to her work. Her dual experience as both a Registered Nurse and former aesthetician means every client is treated by someone deeply versed in anatomy, safety, and the art of skincare. As she explains, starting “on the personal side” of beauty before entering the medical realm taught her to care for people, not just faces.
Amy didn’t build Elevate alone. Her handpicked team of medical aestheticians each has roughly 20 years of experience, totalling over 80 collective years in the industry. This depth of expertise ensures that every treatment is overseen by veterans who “have been part of this industry since its early days,” as Amy proudly notes. In an
age when med spas have become increasingly popular, Elevate’s seasoned staff stands out. They bring advanced certifications and a steady hand to every procedure, from facial injectables to cutting-edge lasers. Amy’s attention to detail goes beyond her in-depth knowledge of the beauty industry and into every element of her business. “When I was choosing a name, I kept coming back to how I wanted people to feel when they heard it, and when they visited,” she explains. “I wanted every experience to feel Elevated, for each client to leave with an Elevated sense of self.”
Personal attention is as important as technical skill. Elevate’s motto is that no two clients are alike, so “we never take a
one-size-fits-all approach,” Amy emphasizes. In practice, this means lengthy consultations where the team listens closely to each person’s concerns and goals. By crafting custom plans (for example, the right mix of injectables, peels, lasers or facials), Elevate helps clients achieve natural-looking results that align with their lifestyle. Walking into Elevate is meant to feel like an exhale after a long day.
Walking into Elevate, it’s clear how much thought Amy has put into the atmosphere of the spa. With an upscale feel, Elevate feels like luxury, comfort and nostalgia all rolled into one. “I wanted to keep an industrial feel,” Amy said as I admired the salon. “I feel like it pays homage to Walkerville’s history.”
Each office is fully equipped with anything to make the client feel comfortable. Need a stress ball? You’ve got it. Want a fan to cool down your nerves? They’re on it.
Small touches reinforce their comfortdriven values. During longer treatments, patients are invited to watch their favourite TV shows, helping take their mind off any nerves, providing the kind of patient care that makes an impact on clients. As Amy notes, treatments may feel intimidating at first, so “our front team goes above and beyond to make clients feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for.”
Elevate offers the full spectrum of modern medical aesthetic treatments, but
ments (like microneedling and chemical peels), advanced facials, and medical-grade skincare regimens.
Amy’s expertise with injectables means she personally ensures every filler or neurotoxin treatment is placed safely and artfully. The emphasis is always on natural-looking enhancements so that results never feel overdone. She walks each client through their procedure ensuring to provide care, comfort and education every step of the way. Each service is framed within the client’s overall wellness goals. All equipment and products at Elevate are medicalgrade and carefully selected. “From day one, my goal was to elevate the standard of care,” Amy says. The spa spares no expense on quality: beyond lasers, they stock top cosmetic devices (LED therapy, HydraFacial machines, radiofrequency tools, etc.) and premier skincare lines.
4th, Elevate will host its Annual Open House, featuring giveaways, promotions, “With a clientele made up predominantly of women (though all are welcome) we’re proud to support the women in our community whenever we can,” says Amy. Attendees can tour the spa, meet the team, and learn about treatments in a relaxed, festive atmosphere. Elevate’s open house will also serve as a fundraiser for the Welcome Centre Shelter for Women and Families.
always w ith an emphasis on proven efficacy. Amy explains that they resist chasing every fad; instead, they invest in procedures backed by science. Elevate’s investment in Sciton’s mJOULE laser platform, featuring the award-winning BBL HEROic™ and MOXI™ technologies, reflects their commitment to science-backed results. Whether targeting stubborn acne, pigmentation, or simply maintaining radiant skin, these tools allow for complete customization from intensive correction to gentle “prejuvenation.”
Of course, laser work is just one pillar. Elevate also offers injectables (Botox, Dysport, Juvederm, etc.), skin-boosting treat-
To help clients maintain healthy skin over time, Elevate recently launched the Elevate Exclusive Club, a tiered membership program. Members pay a monthly fee in exchange for regular treatments and perks. A strategy that, experts say, locks in better long-term results and as we all know, consistency is key to healthy skin. By committing to scheduled visits each month, clients avoid the “yo-yo” of irregular treatments. In Elevate’s program, each tier is customizable to the person’s goals, whether that’s acne control or anti-aging ensuring a fully tailored roadmap. Some of the club’s benefits include: Monthly Professional Treatments where each membership tier includes services (e.g. facials, peels, microneedling) scheduled monthly to give skin regular, professional attention. Customized Plans where members work with Elevate’s experts to design a personalized regimen. Over time, the Elevate team tracks progress and adjusts treatments as needed, and an Exclusive Savings plan where members receive discounts on many services and products. By making top-tier treatments affordable, Elevate encourages clients to prioritize their long-term skin health without breaking the bank. Through the club, Elevate ensures clients not only see immediate improvements but also sustain them. Curious to learn more about the spa? This December
The shelter provides emergency housing and services to women and children in need, and it’s an obvious partner for Elevate’s caring mission. In the same spirit, Elevate’s charity drive during the open house underscores that their work isn’t just cosmetic, it’s about genuine compassion. As Amy says, at the end of the day “Elevate isn’t just a spa, it’s a space that lifts people up, inside and out.” Above all, Amy’s ethos is that beauty should feel empowering, not pressuring. She reminds clients that perfection isn’t the goal, presence and confidence are. Quoting her mantra, “Beauty isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence. It’s about confidence, care, and feeling like yourself, only better.”
Beauty isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence. It’s about confidence, care, and feeling like yourself, only better.
Amy’s favorite metric of success is a simple one, when someone leaves Elevate, she hopes they feel “just a little more elevated than when you arrived.” With her leadership, elite team, and patient-first approach, Elevate Medical Spa continues to redefine what it means to feel beautiful and confident in one’s own skin.
If Vivienne Westwood believed there are no rules to beauty, Amy O’Kane reminds us why. True beauty isn’t something to follow, it’s something to feel.

Cryptic promos. Countdowns in Spanish voiceovers. Online speculation swirling. Reports of a branded vehicle spotted around the city.
By the time “Stop!” by Jane’s Addiction blared over Windsor airways on 8:08am on August 28th, it was clear that it was all more than just rumours: 89X was back.
In that moment, the station didn’t just switch formats, it resurrected a legend.
Reviving of one of North America’s most iconic modern rock stations with the alt-rock classic was no coincidence: that same track had been the first song ever played when 89X officially launched as an alternative rock station in May 1991 and the last song heard before its switch to Pure Country 89 in November 2020.
As 89X Program Director Brad Gibb explains, everything about that moment and the days leading up to it was by design.
“In this day and age to really stand out, you can’t just do something and hope that people are going to care,” says Gibb. “I think the best thing we did was kind of let it slip out a little and let that excitement build so that people were all tuning in that morning, wondering if it was going to happen. And then it did.”
Even the song choices preceding the changeover were thoughtfully chosen, an homage to the time spent as Pure Country and something that could artfully weave together the two formats: three consecutive songs by The Man in Black himself, Johnny Cash.
“We wanted to pay respect to what was,” he explains. “Johnny Cash was that outlaw, you know? That punk rock country guy that did a lot of modern rock covers too. ‘When the Man Comes Around’ was the last song and to me it was the eulogy that put that station to rest and bridged the gap between the two formats.”
After that respectful handshake, it was back to the cutting edge music that started a radio revolution over 34 years ago. This time, with a 2025 spin; equal parts nostalgia, new rock, and a strong sense of community.
For Gibb, an Amherstburg native who got his start in radio at 89X in the late 90s, the heart of the brand has always been about inclusion, both musically and culturally.
“In the early ‘90s, there was this huge shift,” he reflects. “You went from the decadence of late-‘80s hair metal to a movement where grunge, hip hop, industrial, punk, and funk could all share the same stage at Lollapalooza.”
To me, 89X was always more than just a radio station, it was this entity.
That eclectic energy became 89X’s identity: a place where it was okay to be different, to stand out, and to belong.
Today, Gibb says that spirit remains at the core of the re-launch; a station where ‘89X Originals’ and hard-to-find tracks that
built the brand coexist naturally with new sounds. Where Pearl Jam and Soundgarden play alongside amazing new Canadian rock like The Beaches, The Glorious Sons and The Blue Stones.
“Alternative rock in Canada has never been better and we’re just back at the right time with a really, really strong catalog of new and upcoming bands,” he adds.
Carrying that same spirit (and a deep appreciation for music) into the next generation of 89X is a familiar voice to Windsor
listeners: Dan MacDonald, the station’s newly appointed afternoon drive host.
A former AM800 talk show host, MacDonald is no stranger to the FM dial. He previously helmed the same time slot on 93.9 The River and also could be heard on 89X before its format change in 2020. His return feels like a full-circle moment; a broadcaster coming home to the kind of music and community that first sparked his love for the medium.
“Music is and always has been my passion, and I’ve always lived and died by the radio. I literally ‘came of age’ listening to 89X,” says MacDonald. “That station helped shaped my taste in music and I think for a lot of us, it gave us a sense of identity. So to be part of its comeback now, it feels surreal and deeply personal.”
“To me, 89X was always more than just a radio station, it was this entity. I’m honoured to help carry that torch forward for long-time fans and a whole new generation of listeners.
As a local music fan and a big supporter of that scene, I’m so bloody excited.”
Gibb echoes MacDonald’s enthusiasm, looking forward to reconnecting with the region through not just music, but social media and local events.
“We want to be a positive influence on the things that are happening in our own backyard; we want to be a part of events and share what we’re doing and create that sense of community,” he says. “If you’re with us, we’re with you.”
Each year, Hospice hosts a Volunteer Awards Night to celebrate some of the many wonderful volunteers we have here at our Hospice. We would not be able to provide such amazing care at no cost to our patients and their families without the help of our volunteers.

Raising a glass to five years of Cotta
By Jen Brignall-Strong
by Anthony Sheardown
When you look around Cotta Food Bar on any given night – tables full of diners, the kitchen humming, and the sound of live music filling the air – it’s hard to imagine that opening this lively Italian-inspired eatery was ever a gamble.
Born during the height of the pandemic, the restaurant was driven by passion and founded on the deep belief that good food and good vibes bring people together. Navigating through rolling restrictions, owners Tania Sorge and Antonia (Toni) Maceroni found their niche, creating a neighbourhood gathering place with a loyal clientele.
“Thank God for our regulars; they really kept us going through COVID,” says Tania. “We kept reinventing and worked hard to be a part of this community, and they really supported us through all the pivots.”
Five years later, the risks (and all the pivots) have paid off. Cotta has become a fixture of the South Windsor community –a cozy, welcoming “come as you are” space with a curated wine and bar program and
a menu that perfectly blends Old World recipes and farm-to-table freshness with nontraditional twists and innovative presentation.
Add to that its rotating lineup of seasonal dishes and its status as one of Canada’s only certified pinsarias (the latest trend in Italian pizza), and Cotta continues to prove that the best dining experiences are built on heart and heritage.
“The best part about everything we’ve done so far is surrounding ourselves with great people,” reflects Tania. “Our staff truly is like family; they love what they do and they make sure our customers leave happy. They go above and beyond and they’re always looking to learn and grow.”
With a shared foundation in education, both Tania and Toni take great pride in imparting their hospitality knowledge to their teams; Antonia bringing her three decades of culinary expertise to the kitchen, and Tania showing her front-of-house staff how genuine connection can transform a meal into an experience.
Cotta’s entire lineup of Pinsa Romana is something truly special. In fact, the restaurant is one of only three certified pinsarias in Canada.
“We’re actually number 207 in the whole world,” Toni adds proudly.
“You could have grilled fish, a ribeye, some lamb chops – and it all comes together on the table like an art piece.”
As they reflect on the last five years and look ahead to what’s next, Tania and Toni are eager to welcome their longstanding regulars and new guests alike into Cotta’s newly refreshed dining room to sample one of chef Toni’s latest creations; whether it’s for a casual business lunch, an anniversary dinner, or just a pint and a pinsa after work.
“Food is a celebration of life itself,” says Tania. “We’re grateful to play a small part in the happiness it creates for others.”
We kept reinventing and worked hard to be a part of this community, and they really supported us through all the pivots.
“I learned the innate sense of traditional Italian cooking from my nonna and my mom,” says Chef Toni. “From making gnocchi and fresh pastas to simmering sugo from scratch, those lessons shaped who I am as a chef. Now, as a culinary teacher and restaurant owner, even though I’m not old enough to be a nonna, I find myself passing those traditions on to my students and staff. There’s always something new to learn about food and cooking. We love making Cotta an evolving foodie environment.”
Travel also continues to be a major source of inspiration for Cotta’s menu. “We recently went to Sicily and had to feature a pistachio pinsa with mortadella,” shares Toni. “Our travels inspire so many of our menu items.”
Pinsa Romana is a light, more easily digestible alternative to pizza. Featuring a high-hydration dough made from a blend of wheat, rice, and soy flours, it has a texture that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
“Pinsa is special for us because we wanted to bring something to Windsor that was unique and healthier,” says Toni. “We’re always trying to do something a little different to keep the experience at Cotta unique.”
Cotta’s menu is filled with inventive creations that can’t be found anywhere else in Windsor. Among the standouts: the Carbonara Supplì, which looks like an arancini but is made from pasta with a poached egg on top; the decadent Chocolate Pasta with exotic mushrooms and burrata; and their bold Mussels and Fries, a creative twist on a classic dish.
Another of Cotta’s signature offerings is their beautifully presented shared meat boards, says Tania. Served on elegant wooden platters, these artful spreads showcase an assortment of grilled meats and seafood, thoughtfully arranged with complementary sides.
Meet five local authors whose stories reflect the heart, grit, and creativity of our community
By Devan Mighton
From empowering self-help books to heartwarming children’s tales and striking photo essays, Windsor’s creative community continues to shine. These local authors are sharing stories that inspire growth, connection, and pride. Here are five Windsor-Essex writers whose work is transforming lives, one story at a time.
For Windsor writer and transformational coach Nicole Stobbs, creativity has always been her outlet—whether through drawing, dancing, photography, or design. After facing some of life’s toughest challenges, she discovered a deeper calling: helping others rewrite their own stories. “I believe our past never defines us, and with determination and self-belief, we can create a life we truly love,” she says. A devoted mother of three, Nicole credits her daughters as her greatest inspiration and the heart behind everything she does.
Her newest book, Transcend Your Life: A Personal Transformation & Guide to Heal Within, Find Your Purpose, & Manifest Abundance, was published this summer with Friesen Press. Part memoir, part guidebook, it blends her personal journey with tools rooted in neuroscience, energy work, and mindset transformation. The book serves as a road map for anyone ready to heal, rediscover purpose, and build the life they desire.
Nicole believes that supporting local writers, “is about celebrating the voices and experiences that come from within our communities. Each
Executive coach, author, and “reality checker” Lora Crestan has spent more than two decades helping professionals, from tech to healthcare, find balance in demanding careers. However, even she wasn’t immune to burnout. Her debut book, Work Is Not Your Life, grew out of her own experience with overwork and her drive to help others live more sustainably. “I never actually expected to become a writer,” she admits. “It was my husband, Don, who gave me the push to share what I’d been teaching for years.”
Published in August 2025 through her imprint, Bold Collective Press, Work Is Not Your Life is a practical, no-nonsense guide to breaking free from burnout culture. It blends personal stories with frameworks like “The Integrated Year” and “The Integrated Week,” helping readers move from exhaustion to clarity and calm. A companion workbook transforms reflection into action with exercises and real-life tools.
She believes that supporting local writers matters “because our voices shape the story of our communities. Every book that starts here carries our region’s grit, humour, and heart.”
Tecumseh-born Chris Cullen has always had a drive for performance—first as a professional baseball player, later as a leader in medical sales, and now as a two-time Ironman finisher, NCAA mental condi tioning coach, and Global keynote speaker. After a decade leading sales teams and generating more than $100 million in revenue, Cullen turned his focus inward, exploring how language and perspective can shape success. “I believe deeply in training the mind like a muscle,” he says. His black Lab, Sammy—his “best coach ever”—often appears in his talks and writing as a reminder of the importance of gratitude and presence.
His latest book, I Get To: Change Your Words, Change Your Life, dives into how three simple words can transform how we see work, relationships, and challenges. Published earlier this year, it explores five core principles: Gratitude, Growth, Resilience, Identity, and Awareness of Time. “Writing this book was the hardest, yet most rewarding thing I’ve ever done,” Chris says.
He believes that every local author adds something vital to the
Before becoming the Business Manager at Head of the Class Education Centre, Kaylee McCulloch spent years working as a veterinary technician—so it’s no surprise that animals play a starring role in her storytelling. At the centre, she and her team focus on supporting the whole child: academically, emotionally, and socially. The heart of that mission is Stewart, a golden retriever known as the centre’s “Head of Pawsitivity.” “Even as a four-month-old pup, he had this calm, gentle way with kids,” she recalls. “He just knows how to meet students where
That same warmth and connection inspired her latest children’s book, Paw-sitively Stewart: The First Birthday Hat Caper. Based on a true story, it follows a student who overcomes her fear of dogs with Stewart’s help—and showing her gratitude, her mom crochets him a little birthday hat. “It’s playful and joyful,” says Kaylee, “but at its heart, it’s about kindness, courage, and connection.”
For her, supporting local authors is about showing young readers and writers what’s possible. “When students see someone from their own community publish a book, it shows them their voices matter too.”
Photographer and visual storyteller Anthony Sheardown has spent the past 11 years capturing the world through his lens. “I live and breathe photography—it’s pretty much all I do,” he says. Between commercial projects, personal explorations, and collaborative art shows, Sheardown’s work reflects an eye for detail and a dedication to story telling through images.
His newest release, California Gold, is a 144-page hardcover photo book, self-published after four trips to California over two years. Shot entirely on Kodak film, it documents the Golden State from coast to desert, north to south—an intricate portrait of contemporary California. “The book borders on different genres,” he explains, “but it’s rooted in documentary and contemporary photography.”
For Sheardown, local art isn’t just creative—it’s cultural. “Supporting local writers and artists is incredibly important for the culture of a city. Art is the core of entertainment, and when you can get it locally, it’s a great thing.”
Supporting local writers is about celebrating the voices and experiences that come from within our communities. Each writer offers a unique perspective that can inspire, heal, and bring people together in powerful ways.

With the ring of the doorbell, the chef’s eyes look up from the dough he is kneading with his flour-covered hands to the front entrance of his pizzeria. A man enters the mom-and-pop shop with a warm smile on his face, eager to collect the pie he ordered over the phone not long ago. The restaurateur recognizes the man and returns the smile.
As he exits the shop, his wife, Ellie, stands on the sidewalk, cellphone recording in hand. Albert opens the box for the world to see, breathes in the savoury aroma, and his eyes light up as he takes a large bite from a slice. Meanwhile, four-year-old Rowan is pressed against the backseat window, eyes wide, waiting for her share.
“I call in maybe 30 minutes before we do the thing: ‘Hey, can I get a medium with shredded pepperoni and canned mushrooms?’” explains Albert, the face and voice of Win-City Pizza Reviews. “I feel like
that’s what quintessentially defines Windsor pizza: obviously Galati cheese, but shredded pepperoni and canned mushrooms.”
Although it is up for some debate, Windsor-style pizza took root when cousins Gino Manza and Frank Gualtieri and their restaurant, Volcano Pizzeria, started serving in 1957. Their pizza became the standard model for Windsor pizza to come. The Dumouchelles use their vlog-style social media reviews of the many pizza shops in Windsor as a love letter to the craft of Windsor-style pizza-pie-making.
Ellie is the woman behind the camera for their team of pizza aficionados and handles editing and social media. “I get to just be a guy eating pizza,” says Albert. “It’s nothing without her.” Rounding out the trio is their daughter, Rowan, who Albert calls their “expert pizza eater.” The family grades these delicious pies by rating them on a system based on how far it would be worth to drive to buy them.
“Windsor absolutely deserves to be put on the world stage for pizza,” Albert opines. “It needs to be. And so I thought, this is a way we can do that.”
Ever since their first review, Episode 1: “Windsor Pizza” on Jefferson, the Dumouchelles have scoured the city for the choicest slices, sharing with the community and the world the best that Windsorstyle pizza has to offer. Windsor pizza is a matter of civic pride, symbolizing the city’s blue-collar roots and the essence of our family-run businesses. It could be said that you don’t know the City of Windsor if you don’t know its pizza.
“At the very root of Windsor pizza is supporting local,” he states. “We have such a high standard for pizza in Windsor.”
“You go anywhere, any bar in Windsor— you could know no one there—if you strike up a conversation about pizza, everyone leans in. It’s a community builder.”
Windsor-style pizza is inseparable from the Galati Cheese Company, an iconic local business that supplies most of the city’s pizzerias. Galati mozzarella is mouth-wateringly distinct, with its rich flavour and its unique texture when perfectly melted. Not to mention, its shredded pepperoni and
canned mushrooms—considered a quirky yet delicious, apart from the norm in the pizza world.
“Windsor pizza absolutely has to have the Galati cheese, the shredded pepperoni, and the canned mushrooms,” explains Albert, who worked in restaurants during high school and even attended culinary

school. “Outside of that, I’ve seen a lot of variations on the sauce—some are much sweeter, some are a lot spicier—and it’s been really interesting to see people staying true to the form while still trying to perfect their own style.”
With a seemingly inexhaustible number of pizzerias in the area to review, the Dumouchelles continue their mission, one pizza box at a time. However, what they are doing is more than reviewing food. They’re preserving a Windsor tradition and reminding the city of what makes it special. Every slice they share is a tribute to family, community, and the unmistakable flavour of home.

When Essex County’s vintners got to work this summer hauling in the latest crop of grapes, they were continuing a tradition that began nearly 160 years ago – in 1866 –when three Kentucky winemakers decided to put down roots on Pelee Island.
Essex County winemakers boast a proud history that includes producing North America’s first champagne-style wine and Canada’s first ice wine. You see, contrary to what many believe, Canadian winemaking didn’t begin in Niagara – it was born on Pelee Island.
It began when D. J. Williams, disillusioned by the outcome of the American Civil War, abandoned his
native Kentucky for the bucolic beauty of Pelee Island. D.J., his brother, Thomas, and friend Thaddeus Smith joined forces to stake out a spot on Pelee’s northwest corner and planted 25 acres of native Vitis labrusca grapes. Their Smith, Williams & Co. built an imposing stone winery and christened it Vin Villa.
While other small growers had made limited quantities of wine in other parts of Canada, this was the first time winemaking had been elevated to the status of a commercial enterprise.
By the 1890s, 22 wineries were spread across the county from Pelee Island to Windsor. Their sparkling champagne-style wines, sweet ports, cognacs, brandies and sacramental wines became world-renowned. Pelee-produced wines were talk-of-the-town at the 1900 Paris Exposition.
The introduction of those hybrids resurrected the Canadian wine industry starting in the 1960s, but these new plantings took place mostly in Niagara. That region’s rebirth was well under way when, in 1979, Austrian winemaker Walter Strehn led a group to create the modern-day Pelee Island Winery. At about the same time, Italian wine master Carlo Negri was hired by local businessmen to establish Colio Estate Wines. Finally, the wine resurrection had spread to the place where it all began.
Today, about 1,200 acres of Essex County farmland is devoted to grapes. Pelee Island accounts for about 700 acres, all of which is used by Pelee Island Winery.
Pelee is the largest winery in this region and the largest privately owned “estate” winery in Canada – meaning every step from vine to bottle is handled inhouse. In producing up to 350,000 cases a year, Pelee is one of the largest winemakers in the country.
Smaller Essex wineries produce 2,0006,000 cases a year. Some import Niagara grapes to fulfill their needs.
Annemarie Heikenwalder is managing director of Pelee Island Winery. She says the company emphasizes its island birthplace because it “makes us who we are. The island’s story of wine is unique in Canada. The island is our heart and soul. Every sip you take should take you to the island, to understand the story of the island.”
Tom O’Brien opened Coopers Hawk Vineyards in 2011 and was quick to recognize the benefits of joint promotion.
O’Brien led the campaign to establish the EPIC (Essex, Pelee Island Coast) organization. EPIC partnered with Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island to promote wine-based tourism.
Now, says Gordon Orr, CEO of the tourism group and CEO of
Invest Windsor Essex, vintners help to frame the culture of Windsor-Essex. From quaint family-run estates to “the opulent and the grandiose,” Orr says wine has helped to create a sensory experience and spawned new lodging options, unique restaurants and festivals year-round.
Even though winemaking began here, Essex County has fallen under the shadow of the much larger Niagara region for the past half-century, but is that about to change?
Pelee Island Winery’s Heikenwalder says they have exciting new plans in store that could be a gamechanger. While she won’t reveal details, she says a new wine varietal that barely registers in Ontario will be production-ready in about two years. When it is unveiled, “it’s going to differentiate our region from Niagara,” she says.
When that happens, Canadian wine lovers could find themselves looking at the place where commercial winemaking began in a whole new light.
Wine has helped to create a sensory experience and spawned new lodging options, unique restaurants and festivals year-round.
But the industry’s progress was not without its setbacks. The rise of the Temperance movement and the increasing popularity of tobacco had grape growers ripping out acres of vines by the 1920s. By mid-century, changing consumer tastes meant wine made from native labrusca grapes was falling out of favour and the industry became dominated by European hybrid varietals made from vinifera grapes.
• Vin Villa: While the original structure burned in 1963, the ruins remain on Pelee Island. The underground wine cellar remains and wine-tasting tours are offered from May to October peleeislandadventures.com.
• Pinot grigio is the No. 1-selling grape varietal in Ontario.
• White wines account for about 60% of Ontario wine sales.
• Pinot noir is Pelee Island Winery’s No. 1 selling red.
• As part of its environmental program, Pelee Island Winery returns the wine skins to the island for composting.
• The Essex County grape harvest can begin as early as August 15 and finish as late as December; it normally extends 6-8 weeks.
• The Lake Erie North Shore wine region sits at the same latitude as northern California and Tuscany, and farther south than France’s Bordeaux and Burgundy regions.
• With hot summers and long autumns, the region is known for its sun- and heat-loving cabernet franc and sauvignon varietals, as well as rieslings and chardonnays.

When Cavalier Tool & Manufacturing opened its doors in Windsor on November 17, 1975, three founders, Ray Bendig, Rick Janisse, and Ron Kellenberger, shared a simple goal: to build something lasting. Coincidentally, that same day, Ray’s son, Brian Bendig, was born. Five decades later, Brian leads the company as President and CEO, guiding it into its next era of global growth and innovation.
What began as a modest three-person operation has grown into an international powerhouse with over 230 employees and operations as far away as India. Though its reach is global, Cavalier’s heart remains firmly in Windsor, where its success fuels local industry, education, and opportunity.
“It’s been incredible to see what this company has become,” says Brian Bendig. “We’ve grown from a small local shop into a global leader, but our success has always come down to the same three things—our people, our process, and our equipment.”
That philosophy—People, Process, Equipment—has guided Cavalier for five decades and remains the foundation of its future. From November 14–17, the company will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a four-day series of events built around those pillars.
The anniversary kicks off with Supplier Day, recognizing the strong partnerships that have supported Cavalier’s global growth. Suppliers are invited to tour the facilities and connect with the team during an open house, followed by a social gathering with food and drinks. “We have great relationships with our suppliers,” says Bendig. “We all win together, and a big part of the celebrations is giving our amazing partners an opportunity to shine.”
Employee Appreciation Day follows, honouring the team members who make Cavalier what it is today. Employees, families, and friends are invited to tour the facilities, followed by a company banquet at Caesars Windsor. “Our employees are the lifeblood of this company,” Bendig adds. “They give their time and energy year-round, so I’m very excited to give something back.”
The celebration continues with a Vu Bar Social, an evening gathering at Caesars Windsor, bringing together employees, partners, and friends.
Finally, Machine Demo Day showcases the latest in mold-making technology, with live demonstrations across Cavalier’s three Windsor facilities. This event is the first of its kind in the mold making industry. Nearly 1,000 attendees are expected over the fourday series.
Cavalier has consistently invested in growth and technology. Recent upgrades include expanded facilities and new state-ofthe-art machinery that enhance precision, speed, and capacity. One standout addition is a fully automated machining cell, allowing the company to produce molds more efficiently while maintaining top-tier quality.
“We’re not just building molds, we’re building partnerships,” explains Chris Vander Park, Cavalier’s International Business
Manager. “Our clients trust us because we invest in the best technology and the best people. That combination keeps us competitive worldwide.”
Cavalier actively invests in workforce development by supporting programs like OYAP (Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program), Career Ready, and their annual Manufacturing Day events, introducing students to careers in skilled trades and inspiring the next generation of toolmakers, machinists, and engineers.
Vendor and longtime partner Mike Hicks of DMS Components notes the wider impact: “Cavalier is a leader not just in manufacturing, but in creating opportunities. They’ve helped shape a culture of excellence that’s good for Windsor and for Canada’s mold-making industry as a whole.”
Community giving is equally important. Through its Dress Down Day initiative, employees contribute to local charities such as WE Care for Kids, Fight Like Mason, Autism Ontario - Windsor-Essex, the Canadian Mental Health Association, Windsor Youth Centre, Drouillard Place, Windsor Good Fellows, Kidney Foundation, Big Brothers & Big Sisters, and Diabetes Canada.
Cavalier also supports other community initiatives, working with organizations like the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation and the Kidney Foundation—a cause especially close to Brian Bendig’s heart. His late father, Ray, received a life-saving kidney transplant, and his mother, Tina Bendig, was a tireless advocate for the foundation. In 2024, Tina was posthumously honoured with a Special Merit Award for her years of fundraising and advocacy.
Fifty years in, Cavalier Tool & Manufacturing remains focused on what lies ahead. Leadership continues to invest in people and technology to drive the next era of growth.
“We’ve come a long way, but we’re not done yet,” says Bendig. “This anniversary is about celebrating where we came from and setting the tone for the next 50 years.”
“When the modern woman remembers her worth, she no longer seeks to be completed—she seeks to be met.”
Not long ago, I explored what a whole and healthy man seeks in a woman—a look into the masculine heart when it’s healed, grounded, and ready to love from truth. But love, like life, is a dance of balance. As men awaken to deeper consciousness, women too are remembering who they are beyond roles and expectations.
After my travels through the South of France, inspired by the legacy of Mary Magdalene—revered as Yeshua’s (Jesus’s) sacred partner—I began to see their union as a symbol of conscious partnership: love as a spiritual path of awakening.
In my 18 years working with people healing their relationship to love, I’ve seen that whole women desire to be met in soul, spirit, and strength. They seek partnership from fullness, not emptiness—a union grounded in truth, tenderness, and purpose.
While this article uses heterosexual language, sacred union transcends gender; it’s about presence, devotion, and truth.
Is
A whole woman has come home to herself. She faced her wounds and met her shadows with compassion. Her sensitivity is not weakness but wisdom, her intuition, not irrational but sacred. She honors her emotions without drowning in them and values independence without closing her heart.
She is both soft and strong, receptive yet rooted. From this place, she seeks not a rescuer, but a partner to grow with.
“Wholeness is not perfection—it’s authenticity.”
A whole woman lives truthfully, loves consciously, and walks with integrity.
She Wants a Man Who Is Rooted, Not Rattled
A woman who has done her work knows the storms of life—and she wants a man who can stay grounded when the winds blow. He may falter, but he knows how to return to center.
She finds safety in his steadiness, not dominance; in his ability to listen, not lecture. He’s strong not because he controls the world around him, but because he’s learned to navigate the world within him.
She Desires a Man with Emotional Depth
A whole woman embraces her emotions and seeks a man who is emotionally present. She desires a partner who creates a safe space for truth to unfold—listening to understand, not to respond.
Emotional safety allows her to soften and trust. When she moves through emotional storms, his steady presence becomes the riverbank that holds her flow.
She Values Integrity and Purpose
A woman attuned to her own wholeness is drawn to integrity. She feels it in a man’s energy, not his words. She seeks someone whose actions align with his values, honest, humble, and consistent.
A whole man is grounded in self-mastery, taking responsibility for his health, finances, relationships, and goals. His steadiness allows her to relax in his presence.
Purpose matters—not for power or status, but for meaning. A man living from purpose channels his masculine energy through devotion, not ego.
A whole woman knows relationships are living entities that require tending and evolution. She seeks a man who’s willing to grow, not one who hides behind ego or comfort.
He need not be perfect, only willing. Vulnerability is courage; willingness is gold. Together, they become mirrors for sacred reflection— growth becomes their love language.
She Values Emotional Intelligence Over Performance
A modern woman has little interest in emotional unavailability disguised as strength. She’s drawn to a man who can name his emotions, take accountability when he falters, and approach conflict with openness rather than defensiveness.
“Emotional maturity is her new definition of sexy.”
It shows up in how he listens, how he apologizes, and how he staysespecially when things get hard. True intimacy begins where self-awareness meets compassion
She Longs to Be Cherished and Seen, Not Controlled
A conscious woman desires to be cherished for her authentic self, not possessed or managed. She seeks a man who respects her independence, celebrates her expression, and supports her unfolding.
She wants to be truly seen—for her essence, not her appearance or achievements. She longs for a gaze that dignifies rather than objectifies and love that witnesses both her light and shadow.
She Wants Sacred Intimacy
While chemistry matters, a whole woman seeks something deeper: spiritual communion. True intimacy begins long before the bedroom— with trust, tenderness, and conscious connection.
To her, sacred sexuality is not performative, it’s devotional. She wants to feel his grounded presence so she can safely surrender. She wants to be made love to, not just touched; entered with reverence, not entitlement.
She Values Purpose-Driven Partnership
A conscious woman wants love to serve something greater than romance. She seeks shared vision—aligned with truth, service, and soul evolution.
Whether raising a family, creating art, or healing the planet, she wants to build something meaningful together. She’s no longer contented to simply coexist; she wants to rise, together.
She Relies on Trust—In All Forms
Just as a man longs to feel trusted, a woman longs to feel safe. She must trust that the man beside her will act with honesty and care.
Trust reveals itself in small things—how he keeps his word, treats her when no one is watching, and handles conflict with respect. It’s not only about fidelity, but reliability and emotional safety.
She Is Drawn to Devotion
Devotion is not submission; it’s commitment with depth. She wants a man who shows up even when it’s uncomfortable—who repairs, takes ownership, and treats love as a living practice.
Love, to her, is not a possession but a presence, something to be nurtured with attention, prayer, and care.
She Loves a Man Who Can Laugh
Depth anchors love, but playfulness keeps it alive. After healing, she wants to laugh—to dance in the kitchen when dinner burns, to tease and be teased.
Playfulness is not the absence of depth—it’s the soul’s remembrance of joy.
“A man who can both cry and laugh with her holds the keys to her heart.”
If you’re a man on this path—or desire to be—you don’t need perfection, you need truth.
Know Yourself – Face your shadows. Tend to your past. Self-awareness builds trust.
Honour the Feminine – Listen, respect, and co-create. The feminine is not chaos to control—it’s mystery to revere.
Speak and Act with Integrity – Say what you mean. Do what you say.
Stay Present – Especially in discomfort. Presence is love’s container.
Hold Space for Her Power and Pain – Be strong enough to witness her without fixing her.
Make Love Sacred – Treat intimacy as a portal, not a performance.
“The love between Jesus and Mary Magdalene was not transactional— it was transformational.”
They met in soul and truth, devoted to something greater than themselves.
Today, women around the world are rising in sovereignty. They are not waiting for saviours. They are walking as priestesses, healers, leaders, and lovers—and they are calling forth men who can meet them there.
