The Nov. 17 spirit assembly at Greater Fort Erie Secondary School, was "without a doubt, the most electric I've ever felt this building," principal Fred Luows said.
It was a full house as students and teachers gathered to celebrate student achievement, and special guest, "hometown boy," Shane "Murda Beatz" Lindstrom, a music producer who grew up in Fort Erie, and is known for his collaborations with Drake, Ariana Grande, Cardi B, Travis Scott and more.

A husband and wife have been identified as the driver and passenger killed in the fiery crash and explosion at the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls, New York on Wednesday.
Kurt P. Villani and Monica Villani, both 53, from Grand Island, N.Y., the City of Niagara Falls Police Department said in a statement on Facebook Friday morning.

ANALYSIS | Right-wing U.S. media covered fiction as fact: A non-existent terrorist attack from Canada at Rainbow Bridge https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/border-incident-erroneous-reporting-1.7036978 #Niagara #News #Journalism
The mayor of Niagara Falls, Ont., expects the Rainbow Bridge to reopen Thursday or Friday after a car crash and explosion Wednesday killed two people on the American side of the Rainbow Bridge: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/niagara-falls-diodati-rainbow-bridge-1.7037351
We'll update during the day as we learn more. #Niagara #RainbowBridge #News #CBC
CBC appropriately criticizes Fox for rushing to false #terrorism narratives following Wednesday's spectacular wreck at #Niagara.
"Some U.S. media began describing it as a terrorist explosion, caused by a vehicle entering from Canada. Every element of that preceding sentence was dispelled within hours as flat-out wrong. There was no attack from Canada; the incident occurred entirely on U.S. soil; in fact, authorities don't believe it was a terrorist attack at all."

Eyewitness says the vehicle that exploded near the Rainbow Bridge was traveling FROM THE UNITED STATES to Canada, not the other way around. #niagara #falls #incident #explosion https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/local/it-was-a-ball-of-fire-couple-witnesses-vehicle-explosion-at-rainbow-bridge/71-31f5d0fe-1f67-4673-b713-a2050fb11f05

Hiking is a popular fall activity in and around Hamilton and Niagara, but many hikers may be unaware of the work that goes into designing and maintaining their favourite paths.
Even the rugged Bruce, which stretches along the escarpment from Niagara to Tobermory, Ont., receives regular touch ups.
Meet some of the 1,500 volunteers who go ‘all-in’ to clean up and fix Ontario hiking trails: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/hiking-trails-volunteers-1.7016794 #Hiking #BruceTrail #Environment #Ontario #HamOnt #Niagara
With #NY on the left and #Ontario on the right, the #Niagara river forms a natural border. At this time of year, the fishing can be great for Muskie and Lake Trout, although the Chinook Salmon run has finished. Also great to watch sunrise from the bottom of the gorge as the light drops down across the ledge of the opposite side. Good trails to the bottom.
Canada is coming out of a "summer of invasives," Ontario's Invasive Species Centre says, pointing to a number of concerning critters moving through southern Ontario that residents can help curb this fall. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/invasive-species-ontario-1.7013052 #HamOnt #Niagara #Halton #Haldimand #InvasiveSpecies #Environment #News #CBC

A new Niagara program is using wellness techniques to support veterans' mental health. #HamOnt vet Sean Maher, who will be a peer supporter in the program, shared his experience using breathwork and sound healing to manage his PTSD symptoms.
These practices may sound strange, but "when you're looking for a major shift... it usually involves something uncomfortable," psychologist and facilitator Tiffany Hunt said.

"Distant View of Niagara Falls," Thomas Cole, 1830.
Cole was the founder of the Hudson Valley School and gives us this very romanticized view of Niagara...there were already overlooks, factories, & other buildings all 'round. But it's a nice autumnal fantasy, I guess.
From the Art Institute of Chicago.

"At its peak near the end of March 2023, [Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada] was accommodating over 7,900 asylum claimants in 3,525 hotel rooms across Canada; thousands of them were in Niagara. In response, local organizations have come together, and asylum seekers are sharing their skills and resources — but advocates and leaders say additional supports are necessary, and they’re calling on governments to do more."

Today in Labor History August 15, 1906: W.E.B. DuBois demanded equal citizenship rights for African-Americans during the second meeting of the Niagara Movement, saying, "We will not be satisfied to take one jot or little less than our full manhood." Founders of the movement named it for the “mighty current” of change they hoped to achieve. DuBois made his famous statement at Harper’s Ferry, sight of the failed insurrection led by John Brown, in 1859. For a wonderful speculative fiction story based on the premise that John Brown had succeeded in his raid, with the help of Harriet Tubman, read Terry Bisson’s “Fire on the Mountain” (1988).
In addition to cofounding the Niagara Movement, DuBois also cofounded the NAACP. He devoted his life to fighting racism, segregation, Jim Crow and lynchings. DuBois opposed capitalism and blamed it for much of the racism in America. He was also a prolific writer, an anti-nuclear and peace activist, and a proponent of Pan-Africanism.
