LASALLE, ONTARIO

'LaSalle' is a town in Essex County, Ontario. It is located on the Detroit River, south of the City of Windsor. LaSalle, along with Windsor, is the oldest French settlement area in Southwestern Ontario, and the oldest continually inhabited European settlement in Canada west of the Quebec border. The town was named for explorer Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. Now considered to be a bedroom community of Windsor, LaSalle is often cited as an example of urban sprawl where tracts of Canada's most valuable agricultural land have been developed. It is a part of the Windsor Census Metropolitan Area and includes Fighting Island, in the Detroit River, at its western side.
One of LaSalle's biggest events is the annual Strawberry Festival, which takes place on the first weekend in June.
In LaSalle, most teenagers attend either Sandwich Secondary School or St. Thomas of Villanova Catholic Secondary School. The attendance to both is relatively close in numbers.
Jeff Martin, the lead singer from the popular Canadian band The Tea Party, lived in LaSalle and graduated from Sandwich Secondary School.
