Niagara Parks chair prospect put in hot seat
article form The Welland Tribune
NIAGARA FALLS — If the head of the Niagara Parks Commission has to be from Niagara, the government shouldn’t have done a Canada-wide search to fill the vacancy, says Fay Booker, a Burlington consultant Ontario’s Liberals tapped to become the agency’s next chairwoman.
“All people were invited to apply. At the end of the day, whoever applied, applied,” Booker told QMI Agency following a 30-minute interview with Ontario’s standing committee on government agencies. (more…)

GO trains return to Niagara Falls, starting May 21
Starting Friday, May 21 — just in time for the Victoria Day long weekend — GO Transit will again operate trains between Toronto and Niagara Falls every weekend this summer. This year, GO is also operating trains Friday evenings.
Trains operate between Union Station in Toronto and the VIA Rail station in Niagara Falls, but also stop at Port Credit, Oakville and Burlington GO Stations and the VIA Rail station in St. Catharines.
About 50,000 passengers traveled along the line last year, its first season. This year, GO offers one trip in each direction on Friday evening and three trips in each direction every Saturday, Sunday and holiday from Friday, May 21 until Sunday, September 26. Each trip takes about two hours, although ships passing through the Welland Canal sometimes delay the trains.
On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, GO is designating two coaches on each train for bicycles. Passengers can store their bikes on the lower level of the sixth and seventh cars on each train and then sit on the upper level. Each of these special cars has room for 18 bicycles. All other cars on each train — and all cars on Friday-evening trains — also have space for four bicycles.
GO buses continue to operate from Burlington GO Station to Grimsby, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls seven days a week.
Controversy rocks Maid of the Mist Corp.’s boat
original article form The Buffalo News
Order to open bidding could impact business on both sides of border
NIAGARA FALLS — Maid of the Mist tours will soon launch for their 125th consecutive summer, but a festering controversy over the attraction’s Canadian and American leases has cast uncertainity over the future of the famous boats.
Could this be the last season for the American family that has owned the company since 1971?
A political firestorm in Ontario over a secretive parks commission process that has given the Glynn family exclusive rights to offer boat tours below the falls has led the government to order open, competitive bidding for the Canadian shore lease for the first time — a move that also could have implications for the family’s New York operation.
