From Niagara This Week: Employees at the Scotiabank Convention Centre could be excused for wanting to have their cake and eat it, too. Staff were marking the centre’s second anniversary, and a brief cake cutting ceremony was held to celebrate. Mayor Jim Diodati joined board chair Wayne Thomson and SCCN president and general manager Kerry…
