Windsor Salt is a national salt mining, processing, and distribution company based in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada.[1] It operates salt mines in Pugwash, Nova Scotia (the Windsor Salt Pugwash Mine) and Windsor, Ontario (the Windsor Salt Mine).[2] From the salt it mines and produces through evaporative processes, it produces and distributes products for household use, food production, as well as products for agricultural, commercial, and industrial use. Government agencies use a number of its products for ice control on roads in the winter.

The company was previously named The Windsor Salt Company and The Canadian Salt Company, Limited (French: La Société Canadienne de Sel Limitée).
