Best Western keycard

Another in my series on keycards

I’m not sure which hotel this is for, but I found a Best Western keycard the other day. The information on the front of the card is about their points program. There isn’t anything that is specific to any hotel.

Map of Canada puzzle

My 5-year-old son has a small puzzle that is a map of Canada.

It’s kind of hard to see, but each province has a few small drawings (almost like icons) showing things that the province is famous for. In Ontario, among other things, there is a drawing of the CN Tower, and a drawing of Niagara Falls.

I’m probably being too picky here, but the drawing looks like Niagara Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, which are both in the United States. The Horseshoe Falls are the ones in Canada.

Craitor a frequent user of parks commission free golf

From the Niagara Falls Review:

Niagara Falls MPP Kim Craitor has booked 158 tee-off times for free rounds of golf at Niagara Parks Commission golf courses since he was elected in 2003.

He uses the perk the parks commission offers public officials to promote the community to guests and to make up for time his job takes him away from his family.

“I acknowledge I like golfing,” Craitor said. “So we use it. I also use it for promoting Niagara Falls.”

Since 2004, the Ussher’s Creek course at the Legends on the Niagara complex near Chippawa has been his favourite spot. But Craitor mixes it up, playing the Battlefield course at Legends or the Whirlpool course, along the Niagara Parkway.
