Already inspiring people from all over North America and beyond to respond with their own stories of unity, Emily, from Windsor, ON, writes at www.WeAreTheCityHarmonic.com, "For the past couple of years, churches in Windsor, ON have been invited to participate in an event called, We Love Windsor Day.

A Simcoe, ON-based writer says, "Since 2009, a partnership of diverse churches has led to an annual day where churches gather to bless the community. A total of 236 volunteers representing 15 churches participated in last year's event, which was widely hailed as a resounding success."
