The Toronto Sun newspapers had an opinion piece recently about Ontario, and how the government is trying to “protect us” (they called it a Nanny State). At one point, it uses Niagara Falls as an example: These days, the architects of our bubble-wrapped, peanut-free society have their sights set on the daredevil community. The nattering…
From the Toronto Sun: Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls is creating a life-size gingerbread house for family dining. Instead of a little ginger house with frosting, gumdrops and candy canes used a dinner centerpiece, the lodge builds a gingerbread house large enough for a one-of-a-kind holiday dining experience for lodge visitors and local families. It…
On Monday I linked to a Toronto Sun blurb about the Great Wolf Lodge and some Halloween activites. It turns out that is from a press release, and I received it too. Here is the whole thing. By day, the Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls is the ultimate family fun zone with kids taking part…
From the Toronto Sun: By day, the Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls is the ultimate family fun zone and Canada’s largest indoor water park. But when the sun goes down during Halloween season, the lodge undergoes a transformation and becomes a surreal, spooky setting for a one-of-a-kind Halloween experience.

Our roller-coaster ride will fly you to the sky. Now you know what…
From the Toronto Sun: No trip to Niagara Falls, Ont. would be complete for families without a visit to world-famous Marineland. Located less than one mile from the falls on Portage Road, Marineland is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. My late wife, Diane and I took our two children -Tammy and Todd – to…
From the Toronto Sun: It started as a way to keep up with our American competition. Now, nearly three decades later, the Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights has no competition. When rumblings of a winter lights festival first started in 1982, organizers watched what was happening across the border with envy. Established two years…
From the Toronto Sun: Well known for its glitzy casino — the largest and most elegant in Canada with 3,000 slot machines and 130 gaming tables — Fallsview Casino Resort has also earned a much-deserved reputation as one of the finest hotels in Niagara Falls. Every year since it opened in 2004, the Hotel at…
From the Toronto Sun: Magicians are creepy. At least, that’s the general conclusion many of us came to during our childhoods. We were kind of kidding when we said that. But Greg Frewin answered the question seriously. “I think magic has gone through a lot of changes over the past 15 or 20 years,” said…
