Sometimes they play favourites and don’t answer my questions. But I’m continuing the tradition I started in 2014. For now, I’m only asking about Open Air and will set aside a page just for their Open Air answers – IF they answer.

the burg watch: As you know, Open Air remains a contentious issue, especially because of Councillor Crain’s motion to not revisit it until the end of this term. Will you remove barriers that deny people with disabilities equal access to the community when streets are closed during Open Air weekends? May 25.

Frank DiPasquale: yes, will do. May 25.

the burg watch: How will you remove barriers? Haven’t you supported Open Air? May 26.

Frank DiPasquale: Yes I have supported open air . Open Air helped our community through covid, and help redefine Amherstburg. Our community is growing leaps and bounds. Traffic is heavy. It is not wise to shut down streets for entire weekends. If the General Amherst development succeeds can you imagine the bottle necks that will occur. May 26.

Answers and questions back from other candidates will be posted in future posts.

The Candidate Platforms 2026 page has been updated, including 2022 information, whether they showed favouritism towards bloggers’ questions to the candidates (they did), and Open Air position if known (it’s obvious).

Candidate Question Open Air Barriers – Frank DiPasquale

Posted on by

Will you remove barriers during Open Air weekends that block people with disabilities from driving to the bank, local stores, bars, and generally driving through town?

This is the only question DiPasquale answered from the burg watch.

Thank you Ms Saxon for your email. I have supported open air weekends in Amherstburg but accessibility is first and foremost important. Special considerations must be given people with mobility issues and the town and downtown businesses must accommodate anyone who wants access to do their banking by providing assisted wheelchair accessible transportation   For example if someone should park in Richmond outside of the barrier an individual can transport to the bank and back to their vehicle.
