125 Days of Joy
 
To accent its anniversary, Windsor Salt will bring unexpected moments of joy to select towns and neighbourhoods across Canada. These joyful acts will be carried out by Windsor Salt employees, brand ambassadors and members of the Joy Squad.
 
“125 Days of Joy is our way of celebrating the brand’s anniversary and thanking Canadians for making Windsor Salt their trusted choice for over a century through moments of joy that are sure to bring smiles to faces across the country,” commented Savoie.
 
125 Years of Windsor Salt
 
From its humble beginnings in 1893, Windsor Salt grew to become Canada’s largest salt producer. Started by three railway employees who believed Canada needed a salt manufacturer, the Windsor Salt Company was born and eventually brought the country a full range of salt products to improve everyday life.
 
Today, Windsor Salt is still leading the way in the salt industry. Over the last two decades, Windsor Salt has introduced 15 new products including Kosher Salt, Sea Salt, Half Salt and Coarse Salt. Windsor Salt was first to innovate, market and grow in the water softening category; its culinary salt offerings have expanded far beyond table salt to include a wide range of specialty salts; it offers a full line of high-performing de-icing salts; and in 2016, Windsor Salt launched a comprehensive brand refresh, which included an updated logo and product packaging.
