Today
Today the structure no longer is connected to the rail network. However, CP still uses part of the building for some of its operations, such as the Rail Traffic Control Centre for Quebec, Southern Ontario and the Northeast US, as well as the offices of one of its vice presidents, the corporate real estate division, and the corporate archives. Also located in the station is the Canadian Railway Office of Arbitration.
The rest of Windsor Station been redeveloped into an office and hotel complex as well as restaurants. The interior concourse, which is open to the public and connects the metro station with the commuter rail station as well as the Bell Centre, is famous for hosting an annual beer festival. The 13 terminal tracks running into Windsor Station have been removed along with the overhead canopy and now comprise a public square.

“Dearest Lord, may I see you today and every day in the person of your sick, and, whilst nursing them, minister unto you.

—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
“This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.”
—Alice Paul (1885–1977)
“It is not their brotherly love but the impotence of their brotherly love that keeps the Christians of today from—burning us.”
