Niagara gearing up for generational solar eclipse event

On April 8, citizens across North America will be treated to a rare astronomical spectacle as a total solar eclipse takes place. The event, which will span the entirety of the afternoon and peak around 3pm ET, will result in pitch black conditions, and will be a once in a lifetime experience. With these realities in mind, Niagara leaders are making preparations for the extremely significant occurrence.

“I remember during Nick Walenda, at that time, that was the biggest event to ever happen in the city,” said Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati in a recent television interview. “This one (the eclipse) could make that one pale in comparison.” Diodati believes that there could be over a million visitors for the event, based on pre-estimates and projections.

Remembering Brian Mulroney

Opinion

As former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney lies in state this week, Canadians from coast to coast have been reflecting on the life of a man who had a lasting impact on the economic veracity, social fabric and international prestige of the nation. While tributes have poured in from those of all political stripes, some who knew Mulroney personally have been taking the opportunity to share many rich memories and fascinating stories.

The Hon. Pauline Browes served as a Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament (1984-1993) for Scarborough, as well as a Cabinet Minister for Prime Minister Mulroney.
