Reading Time:  2 minutes -

In recognition of Waste Reduction Week across Ontario (October 19th – 25th, 2015), the Pen Centre in St.Catharines is calling on all Niagara Residents to come in for their 10th annual event in which they encourage you to drop off unwanted electronics, old prescription drugs and glasses for safe recycling and/or proper disposal.
Electronics that will be accepted include: desktop and portable computers, computer accessories, printers and multi-function devices, mobile devices, televisions, telephones, personal/home/vehicle AV systems and home theatre systems. All items will be accepted at the PenCentre’s North-East parking lot (near H&M).
The Pen Centre will also be collecting gently used clothing through “Clothes for Common Good” in support of Cerebral Palsy. Habitat for Humanity will also be on-site informing visitors about its volunteer programs, services and projects, including its ReStore program for new and gently used building supplies.
“Waste Reduction Week is an opportune time to think about waste management and recycling, and take action to divert more waste from our landfills,” says Rick Woodward, Marketing Director of the Pen Centre. “The Pen Centre wants to do our part to make it easier for Niagara Residents to join in environmentally conscious choices. Understanding how a little effort today goes a long way to protect the environment for future generations is important. It’s also a perfect opportunity for all of us to make even the most simple changes in our life, like refusing a shopping bag at checkout.”
The Pen Centre is Niagara’s largest indoor shopping destination, featuring 180 stores and services and one million square feet of shopping fun. The Pen Centre is home to the most popular national stores and brands like Sephora, American Eagle, Hudson’s Bay, H&M, HomeSense, Old Navy, Sears, SportChek, and Winners.  Enjoy a movie on one of Landmark Cinemas 10 modern screens with stadium seating.
Pen Centre Address: 221 Glendale Av., St.Catharines, L2T 2K9
DATE & TIME:
Saturday October 24 from 9AM to 6PM

New Niagara Outlet Mall to open in May

3 Comments
Reading Time:  2 minutes -

It is slated to be Canada’s largest open-air outlet mall, and it will be right here in the Niagara Region in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The new Niagara Outlet Mall (under construction by Ivanhoe Cambridge), called the “Outlet Collection”, will feature 100 retail stores, including only one of three Bass Pro Shops in Canada. That store alone will be 80,000 square feet of space within an outlet mall that will expand over 520,000 square feet of space at Glendale Avenue and Taylor Road, right across from White Oaks Conference Resort & Spa.

Niagara-on-the-Lake Lord Mayor David Eke, told the St.Catharines Standard that “When we’re shopping here, the Outlets of Niagara will be the item that puts Niagara on the map”. There is no doubt that this particular Niagara outlet mall will be a magnet for visiting tourists, with its estimated cost at $200 million and with a wide selection of some internationally popular retail stores on board — those such as Forever 21, Banana Republic,Bench Outlet, Brooks Brothers Outlet, Calvin Klein, Gap Outlet, Izod, Michael Kors Outlet, Naturalizer, Osh Kosh, Tommy Hilfiger and Van Heusen. The mall’s stores and food operations will create 1500 Full and Part-Time jobs.

The mall will also feature a farmer’s market in which local Niagara region and International produce will be presented, to maintain the reputation of being one of the world’s already most popular destinations, seeing as Niagara Falls alone draws an estimated 12 million tourists to the city alone. This addition will stabilize that familiarity encouraging those tourists to stay within the Niagara Region. It’s close proximity to the Niagara Falls and its hotels and attractions , will most surely be a major tourist draw.

According to David Baffa, the senior vice president of retail development for Ivanhoe Cambridge, the design of the mall’s open-air concept would sit nicely with the Niagara-on-the-Lake’s climate. The region gets little snow and the covering between the buildings will keep the shoppers weather protected.

Here is a video of the anticipated final outcome of this Niagara outlet mall:

Ivanhoe Cambridge expects the “Outlet Collection” to bring between 6 to 8 million visitors per year and is expected to reduce cross-border shopping. The wide variety of selection that this mall will have, will feature many of the stores that Canadians head over the border for — thus encouraging locals and not just tourists, to keep the shopping local.

Lord Mayor David Eke also stated “Not only will it create thousands of jobs and generate more tax revenue for our area, it has the potential to make the Glendale interchange at the QEW a major commercial hub for both the Southern Ontario and Northeastern U.S. markets.”

The Outlet Collection is planned for an opening date of May 15, 2014.
