Polyamory (from Greek πολύ poly, “many, several”, and Latin amor, “love”) is the practice of, or desire for, intimate relationships involving more than two people, with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. Windsor, “The City of Roses,” is the southern-most city in Canada. It is the fourth most culturally diverse city in the country, behind only Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

About Polyamory

Polyamory

At its heart, polyamory is the practice of having — or the desire to have — multiple simultaneous romantic relationships. Many different relationship configurations are encompassed by the term. It includes polyfidelity and relationship anarchy; hierarchical relationships and egalitarian ones; Vs, Ns, triads, quads, puppy-piles, open networks, and poly families; spouses and sweeties, solo polyamorists and ethical sluts. There is no one correct way to do or be poly.

There are, however, definitely wrong ways.

As a subset of ethical non-monogamy, polyamory promotes the practice of good-faith communication and compromise, encourages values like openness and honesty, and espouses a commitment to ensuring, to the best of one’s ability, that everyone’s needs are met and their boundaries respected.

About Us

Windsor Polyamory is a loose organization of like-minded people who are striving to carve out a safe and welcoming place for those in Windsor and the surrounding area who want to learn about, support, and perhaps even practice ethical non-monogamy.

Our mission is to create safe spaces for polyamorous and other ethically non-monogamous people in the Windsor area through organizing social and/or educational events and increasing awareness of our community.


We aim to keep our members connected, and one of the things we do to accomplish that is we host the Windsor Poly Slosh, a monthly social gathering for anyone open to the idea of polyamory. The Slosh is a place where people who practice all kinds of ethical non-monogamy can be open about their relationships, can ask questions, and can exchange their knowledge, advice, and support. Those who are not polyamorous or who don’t yet know if they are should feel welcome to attend the Slosh, ask questions, and take part in discussions, as long as they keep an open mind toward the vast diversity of experiences and lifestyles among our members. Anyone considering attending any of our events should read our Event Rules.

Erin Christmas is the head organizer of the Windsor Polyamory Slosh. She has been organizing the monthly social gathering since 2016.

Reg Robson is the webmaster and a contributor to the poly blog. He is also currently maintaining our social-media presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and various other social-media sites.
