Niagara Helicopters
What better way to experience the beautiful snow-covered views of Winter in Niagara Falls than from soaring above? You’ve seen pictures of the Niagara Falls before, but none as unique as these views. The Niagara Helicopters is open year round (*dependant on weather conditions), and features large windows for non-obstructing photographs. Individual headsets with taped commentary in 12 languages is offered, as well as wheelchair accessibility.
The journey begins at the Sir Adam Beck Generating plant and follows the Niagara River from the Whirlpool area, over the Whirlpool Rapids and the Rainbow Bridge. The helicopter passes by the American Falls and the Skylon Tower. The helicopter then changes direction and follows the curve of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. The helicopter levels off and continues along the route back to base.

*Pictured Above: Northern Pikes front man, Jay Semko (www.jaysemko.com)
The Seneca Queen Theatre, located in Niagara Falls, is a beautifully restored 300-seat intimate theatre that currently showcases a number of live entertainment performances.
On Saturday, March 7th, 2015 the theatre is excited to announce an acoustic concert by Nothern Pikes front man, and Saskatchewan born, Jay Semko.
Jay formed the Northern Pikes, a Canadian guitar-based pop rock group in 1984, alongside band members Bryan Potvin, MerlBryck, and Don Schmid.
As a member of the Northern Pikes, Jay was awarded four Gold records and one Platinum, with sales of over 1 million units worldwide. Hit singles included “Teenland“, “Things I Do for Money”, “Wait for Me”, “Hopes Go Astray”, “She Ain’t Pretty”, “Girl with a Problem”, “Kiss Me You Fool”, “Twister”, and “Believe”.
A couple of these songs appeared in the USA Billboard Charts, and you couldn’t go very long on MuchMusic in the 1990’s without catching many of the band’s videos within the Top 5 countdown. “Girl with a Problem” in particular reached the #1 spot.
The Northern Pikes received 8 Juno Award nominations, with Jay Semko receiving two Canadian Music Publishers Association Awards.
The Northern Pikes have released twelve albums over their career, and in 2012 they were inducted into the Western Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
Northern Pikes – She Ain’t Pretty:
“I am so much looking forward to playing in Niagara Falls – this is a solo acoustic tour; me and my guitar, playing songs from the Northern Pikes, Due South, my solo albums, storytelling and truth-telling,” said Semko from his home in Saskatchewan.
The band’s 1990 album, Snow in June, became their biggest seller in Canada and the US. That album’s lead single, “She Ain’t Pretty”, received heavy play on MuchMusic and was nominated for a Juno Award.
The show at Seneca Queen will provide fans with an intimate and interactive performance by Semko, reliving some of the history behind The Northern Pikes.
“I’ve never had more fun onstage – the one-on-one connection we’re getting every night is beyond description – laughter, tears, singing, sweating – a rare and precious thing – so amazingly cool,” he added.
This year marks the bands 30th Anniversary for The Pikes and the band, now a trio after the departure of MerlBryck.
Jay Semko is also an award-winning music composer for numerous film and TV productions, including Canada’s most successful internationally syndicated series, “Due South”. His new album is entitled “Flora Vista” – an acoustic guitar based journey of love, loss, spirituality, addiction and recovery. TICKETS

It’s the New Year and for a lot of us January is a tight month financially. Christmas has left us broke and the bills keep piling up anyways.

Niagara Falls has always been known as the “Honeymoon Capital of the World” for a reason — the majestic beauty of the Niagara Falls and the Niagara Parks that surround it, is the perfect setting for romance.

*The Comfort Inn Clifton Hill is the prime location to easy access to the Falls. It is literally only a short 5 minute walk down Clifton Hill to one of the main lookout points of the Niagara Falls and the hotel is central to all Clifton Hill attractions — with gorgeous balcony views of Canada’s largest observation wheel, the Niagara SkyWheel — which leads me to the next special offer that the Niagara Falls One Night Getaway Package contains…. *Two Niagara SkyWheel tickets
It’s the perfect perspective to view the Niagara Falls — the Niagara SkyWheel already sits high on Clifton Hill as it is, but then it soars you an additional 175 feet, to experience a once in a lifetime view of the Falls, the Niagara River, Clifton Hill…and the city! These tickets are good day or night, whether it’s cold or hot, through sunshine or sleet. Every gondola is enclosed and climate controlled for your comfort.

Both of these restaurants offer an extensive menu of affordable options and something delicious for everyone to enjoy. Boston Pizza Clifton Hill is unique in that this is the only one located inside a massive entertainment and gaming facility. Over 300 arcade games are inside the same building, with 2 bars (each housing numerous tv’s continuously playing your favourite sports), and containing a full-lane bowling centre called Strike Rock N Bowl! It’s Niagara’s go-to place to sit down, relax and catch the game or to experience nightlife on another level compared to the typical restaurant or bar.
Choose Kelsey’s (on the corner of Clifton Hill and Victoria Av.) for a more laid-back atmosphere. Delicious menu items abound, drink specials and a place to unwind and socialize with your loved ones, family and friends are the reason to choose this particular Kelsey’s. It’s a friendly place, with windows all along the one side of the building overlooking the exciting lights and action of the Clifton Hill streetscape. The warmer months see nightly entertainment on the patio that offers plenty of seating. The beauty of choosing Kelsey’s as part of the Niagara Falls One Night Package Getaway, is that it is connected to the Clifton Hill Niagara Falls Hotel.

For breakfast, one of the cheapest and yet most filling and delicious meals is actually close to the main tourism strip of Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls. It is on Lundy’s Lane, not even a 5 minute drive from that spot.

You would be hard-pressed to find this restaurant empty.
Falls Manor has been a fixture in Niagara Falls for over 40 years and really maintains that quality service and affordable prices need to stay top in mind when competing with all the other Niagara Falls restaurants.

72% des mères veulent plus…
Bien que nous célébrons des anniversaires et des fêtes ici, il y a toujours une journée spéciale à chaque année où nous commémorons toutes les mamans qui travaillent fort à élever leurs enfants, c’est la fête des mères! C’est un jour pour dire merci et de donner à son tour. Les fleurs sont un bon début, mais un sondage de Forbes dit que maman veut un petit peu plus cette année.
Une raison parfaite pour une évasion avec maman
Vous pouvez vraiment montrer à maman que vous l’aimez avec un voyage à Niagara Falls cette année. Gâtez-la avec un tour sur le mondialement célèbre SkyWheel de Niagara qui offre des vues splendides des chutes, quand elle descend elle se sentira comme elle vient de faire un mini-voyage au spa. On sait bien que les mamans méritent de prendre congé de la cuisine, et avec tout les superbes choix à Clifton Hill, les mamans qui aiment bien la pizza peuvent goûter une tranche d’une des pizzas de viande célèbres de Boston Pizza. Votre maman va également avoir beaucoup de choix sur le nouveau menu de Kelsey’s, alors qu’en bas de la rue Mama Mia se vente de sa cuisine Italienne extraordinaire. Cliquez ici si vous souhaitez voir plus de restaurants.
Chocolats, friandises et fudge, Oh là là!
Maintenant maman est toute pleine, heureuse, et elle a même gardé de la place pour le dessert! Bien sûr, il y a des offres délicieux sur le menu du restaurant, ou bien vous pouvez descendre à quelques pas sur Clifton Hill, et juste à côté du Great Canadian Midway vous allez retrouver le Fudge Factory. Rappelez-vous du sondage dont on parlé plus tôt? Eh bien, 37% des mamans ont également dit qu’elles aimeraient des cadeaux de confits pour leur journée spéciale! Vous retrouverez des friandises, et d’autres produits irrésistiblement délicieux, et peut-être une petite collation de supplémentaire pour plus tard. Maman n’aura pas à se sentir coupable pur un peu plus de sucre dans son régime alimentaire, car Clifton Hill mène directement à la Promenade du Niagara où vous pouvez prendre une longue marche à côté des chutes dans les sentiers bordés de fleurs.
Bonnes nouvelles, mamans
La Fédération Nationale aux Détaillants dit qu’une personne normale va dépenser plus sur leur maman cette année! Au total, les dépenses pourraient atteindre 18,6 milliards. Si vous allez dépenser l’argent, pourquoi ne pas procurer quelque chose
