Directions/Parking for the Fireworks Show in Queen Victoria Park

You may have been to the Falls 100 times, but have you ever arrived at the same time as thousands of other people?  New Years in Niagara Falls has traffic! Please, We can’t stress it enough, expect to arrive and be parked at your destination by 8:30 pm at the latest. Choose a spot close enough to the New Year’s festivities, that is also walking distance from wherever you plan on having dinner, etc. If you plan on seeing the New Year’s Eve fireworks down at Queen Victoria Park,  hopefully you picked a hotel within walking distance to the event. If not, click here and let us help you with a list of nearby hotels complete with a map that pinpoints their location in relation to the park, Niagara Falls, and the attractions that you wish to visit. 

A parking lot that is close to the fireworks in the park, Scotiabank Convention Centre, both casinos (Casino Niagara and Fallsview Casino), and all the main Clifton Hill attractions, is just off Victoria Avenue. If you enter the parking lot from here, you will fare much better in getting in quickly — whereas entering at the front (off Clifton Hill) will be difficult depending on your time of arrival. It is large and extends from the rear of the Niagara SkyWheel all the way to the Skylon Tower.

Dress for the Weather – Visitors are advised to dress warmly and in layers to prepare for all types of weather conditions and take extra precautions to protect extremities such as hands, feet and ears.

Revitalizing Niagara’s Historical Gem: Toronto Power Generating Station Undergoes Transformation

Leave a comment
Reading Time:  4 minutes -

In a groundbreaking move, Niagara Parks has successfully concluded a three-stage public procurement process, unveiling Pearle Hospitality as the visionary proponent for the restoration and redevelopment of the historic Toronto Power Generating Station. This iconic site, perched proudly overlooking the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, is set to undergo a monumental transformation, thanks to Pearle Hospitality’s ambitious private sector investment exceeding $200 million.

Pearle Hospitality, celebrated for their meticulous approach to heritage property rejuvenation, has crafted a proposal that promises not only to preserve but to elevate the Toronto Power Generating Station into a globally significant visitor experience. This landmark, already recognized as a National Historic Site, will be reimagined to honor its heritage while offering an unparalleled encounter with one of Canada’s most iconic natural wonders.

The Letter of Intent has been inked, marking the commencement of a 120-day due diligence phase. During this period, Pearle Hospitality will conduct consultations, develop comprehensive heritage studies, assess environmental and archaeological considerations, and engage in contract negotiations. The goal is to ensure that every facet of this transformation aligns seamlessly with the rich history and environmental significance of the Toronto Power Generating Station.

Pearle Hospitality’s track record in redefining heritage properties speaks volumes. Their portfolio includes the resplendent Elora Mill Hotel and Spa, the charming Cambridge Mill, and the historic Ancaster Mill, showcasing their prowess in creating dynamic, location-defining experiences. With an eye for restoration, a keen sense of place, and a commitment to innovative design, Pearle Hospitality is poised to breathe new life into the Toronto Power Generating Station.

April Jeffs, Chair of the Niagara Parks Commission, emphasizes the historical and cultural importance of Toronto Power, stating, “Toronto Power is a globally recognized landmark of Canadian architecture and industry that has stood as a central feature of the Niagara Falls landscape for over a century. Overseeing its preservation and transformation from a dormant heritage building of national significance into a brand-new, one-of-a-kind visitor experience for the benefit of local residents and tourists alike, is the embodiment of what Niagara Parks stands for as an organization.”

This ambitious project is not just about preserving history; it’s about redefining the future of Niagara Falls as a global tourism icon. Beyond immediate financial benefits, such as an additional revenue stream for Niagara Parks, the far-reaching economic impacts of this transformation are expected to be substantial.

The redevelopment plans prioritize public access, ensuring that visitors can fully immerse themselves in the experience. Among the proposed features are indoor and outdoor public viewing areas, a museum, a public art gallery, a variety of culinary options, Niagara Falls’ first and only five-star boutique accommodation, event and programming space, and much more. This thoughtful blend of historical preservation and contemporary offerings is poised to position Toronto Power as a demand generator for the entire Niagara region, Ontario, and Canada.

Niagara Parks will negotiate a lease agreement with Pearle Hospitality, aligning with existing agreements held with other partner tenants. The project will be guided by the Niagara Parks Act (1885), Niagara Parks’ 10-year Strategic Plan (2018-28), and the Queen Victoria Park Master Plan (2018), ensuring a harmonious integration with the surrounding environment and community.

Brian McMullan, Director of Business Development and Spokesperson for Pearle Hospitality, envisions the Toronto Power site as a symbol of Canada’s natural wonders deserving an equally breathtaking hospitality venue. “Our vision for this project will let visitors enjoy the Falls experience in exactly the type of breathtaking hospitality venue that one of Canada’s foremost natural wonders deserves,” says McMullan.

As the due diligence phase unfolds, the Toronto Power Generating Station stands on the cusp of a remarkable renaissance. Pearle Hospitality’s commitment to meticulous planning and reverence for heritage ensures that this transformation will not only revive a historical gem but also redefine the way visitors experience the captivating allure of Niagara Falls for generations to come. Stay tuned as the journey to restore and reimagine the Toronto Power Generating Station unfolds, marking a new chapter in the annals of Niagara’s rich history and vibrant future.

What is the Civic Holiday?

The Civic Holiday is an annual celebration observed on the first Monday of August throughout Canada. However, it goes by various names in different provinces and territories. In Ontario, this holiday was established to pay tribute to John Graves Simcoe, who played a significant role in the establishment of modern Toronto. Additionally, it serves as an opportunity to celebrate the rich and diverse Canadian culture. Interestingly, each province and territory has embraced this holiday for its own unique reasons to celebrate.
