The April issue of the Business Newsletter from the City of Niagara Falls came out a few weeks ago. In it they highlight the Canyon Creek Chop House at Fallsview Casino along with other information on both casinos.
They also highlight the HOCO Ferris Wheel. It’s kind of a confusing article. The company is called Great Canadian Hotel & Entertainment, and the article starts off by saying the first phase of the expansion is built. Later on it says that the first phase includes 20 rides. Of course anyone who has been on Clifton Hill knows that the only new ride is the Niagara SkyWheel.
There is also a blurb about the Fallsview Waterpark.

From the Niagara Falls Review:
The U.S. ambassador to Canada is telling Canadians not to take any chances at land border crossings and to get their passports ready.
“What I tell Canadians is the same thing I tell Americans, is, with all due respect, get a passport - that is the sure thing,” David Wilkins said Monday.
The U.S. ambassador said there are a lot “mixed messages,” but he pointed out that a passport law has been passed and is in place.
“It requires passports for air travel now and it will require passports for land travel, something between January ‘08 and June of ‘09,” Wilkins said.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
