This is from The Modern Girl Friday Travels blog:

Whenever nature is one of the biggest attractions in town, it’s pretty impressive. But the word “impressive” fails to describe what can be considered one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. Located a quick 1 hour and 30 or so minutes from Toronto traveling the Queen Elizabeth Way, the Niagara Peninsula is an entire day of exploration and awe.

It’s a nice write-up about Niagara Falls. It also has a neat “slide show” of pictures.

Feds ante up $35m for convention centre

From Niagara This Week:

The federal government is committing up to $35 million toward a new $107-million convention and civic centre to be built in Niagara Falls, something supporters say will provide a huge shot in the arm for Niagara’s economy and propel the region into tourism’s big leagues.

Niagara Falls MP and federal justice minister Rob Nicholson made the announcement to about 100 dignitaries Wednesday at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel near the brink of the Horseshoe Falls, directly across the street from where the massive, 130,000 square-foot facility will be built.
