9. About Easter

In the Christian world, Easter is a celebration of the resurrection of Christ. On the third day after his crucifixion (Good Friday), the New Testament tells us that he arose from his grave and appeared to his disciples and ascended to Heaven…this is celebrated by Christians every year on Easter Sunday. The rabbit is known for its reproduction prowess (hence the term “multiplying like rabbits”) and is seen as having special powers to help humans reproduce, which symbolizes fertility and the egg is also a symbol of fertility, rebirth and new beginnings…which celebrates the death and resurrection of Christ. And chocolate? You can thank the Europeans for that. It began in the early 19th century and it was mainly France and Germany that decided to take this on.

La fête des mères à Niagara Falls

Reading Time:  2 minutes -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

Clarkson Cup 2012 Comes to Niagara Falls

 

 Are you one of thousands of hockey fans who will be flooding Niagara Falls this week for Clarkson Cup Action?
Named after former Governor General of Canada Adrienne Clarkson the women’s version of the Stanley Cup will reign over the falls from March 22nd to the 25th.  Teams from all over North America will be battling it out at the Gale arena round robin style. The top two teams will go head to head for the championship title. Montreal will be looking to repeat last years win against the Toronto Furies when TSN broadcasts the final game.  Between 20 to 30 Olympians such as Caroline Ouellette, Tessa Bonhomme, and Meghan Agosta will be in Niagara Falls, hopefully they have time to unwind on Clifton Hill.
 There are plenty of attractions to keep busy with between or after games.  Tournaments can get hectic so it may be nice to relax with a ride on our world famous SkyWheel.  Soaring 175 feet (53 meters) over the Niagara Falls horizon you can get many memorable pictures from the fully enclosed gondolas.
We are looking ahead to another great week of weather for the Niagara region.  When you’re not in the cold arena, get into the sun and try your hand at a game of Dinosaur Adventure Golf.  As one of the newest attractions along the hill this mini putt is like walking into the age of the Dinosaur.  The fully functional volcano, realistic characters and sound effects will get you excited as you play the 18 hole course. 
 Boston Pizza is a great place to take a break.  Enjoy some great food with the family, and maintain the sporty atmosphere.  The kids will not get bored with wall-to-wall arcades, and our Strike Rock and Bowl entertainment centre.  Some ways you can save a few dollars while you are visiting is by picking up hotel packages and attraction passes.  The Clifton Hill Fun Pass is a great way to go for any family to save money on the most popular attractions.
