From the Niagara Falls Review:
Backed into a corner by the federal government, the City of Niagara Falls has to move ahead fairly quickly with its long dreamed of people-mover system
or forget about Ottawa’s $25-million pledge to help out.
City hall learned recently that unless there is an agreement in place by June 2009 to get the people-mover project rolling, the federal government will consider the file closed and remove its monetary offer that was based all along on the city matching the federal contribution.
It’s easy to understand Ottawa’s impatience -this project has been in the planning stages for years and years.
Ottawa made its offer back in 2003.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Answer: What popular game show host was able to wander around Niagara Falls virtually unnoticed on Thursday?
Hint: It wasn’t Howie Mandel.
Instead, it was fellow Canuck Alex Trebek who was in town Thursday to film video clues for future episodes of “Jeopardy.”
“It’s always good to come home and I consider southern Ontario as home,” he said of his return to Canada.
The 68-year-old Sudbury native enjoyed his anonymity as he walked along the Niagara Parkway near Table Rock, enjoying the view of the Horseshoe Falls.
Once his production crew set up shop, however, a curious crowd quickly formed and the digital cameras came out.
This was Trebek’s second trip to Niagara in less than two months.
He and his family visited Niagara during the summer and took in some of the sights.
“We enjoyed it, but there were a lot of people,” he said near Table Rock.
“You have to have your wits about you when you drive here in the summer.”
The “Jeopardy” production crew filmed potential clues along the Niagara River throughout the day.
Someone with a Blogger blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls:
What a treat! We took a mini-vacation to Niagara Falls last week, staying in Canada. The weather was perfect and the leaves just beginning to turn. As Michael had never been there before we took advantage of one of the package deals at Howard Johnson’s on Victoria Ave. The room was great - even a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom - I sure took advantage of great soaking baths wile we were there!
