From the Niagara Falls Review:
The CBC’s love affair with Niagara Falls continues.
The broadcast company was in the honeymoon capital earlier this week, filming an interview with city historian Sherman Zavitz for a special Canada Day broadcast to air Sunday at 2 p.m., on its Newsworld and main network telecasts.
Reporter Kas Roussy, along with a camerman, visited the city Tuesday and spent three hours with Zavitz around the Table Rock area, as well at the water’s edge of the Maid of the Mist.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Review columnist and city historian Sherman Zavitz was one recipient of a provincial award for Niagara Falls residents who have promoted the city’s heritage.
Mayor Ted Salci and Sharon Shearing, chairwoman of the Municipal Heritage Committee, presented Ontario Heritage Trust Awards during Monday’s council meeting.
Salci said he learns more from Zavitz, the author of six books, about the history of Niagara Falls than from anyone else.
“This is a great city with a wonderfully long, fascinating history,” Zavitz said.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
If you don’t need it, leave it.
That’s the message being doled out by bridge officials to cross-border travellers this long weekend.
“Only bring what you really need in your vehicle,” said Tom Garlock, general manager of the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission.
“Don’t use your car as a storage area. The more stuff you pack, the more likely it is an inspector might take a longer look to sort through it all.”
Good advice no matter when you travel!
If you are wondering what the City of Niagara Falls is doing for Canada Day, the Niagara Falls Review has a nice summary article on their web site.
