For Immediate Release<\/strong>
August 6, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Niagara Falls, ON<\/strong> \u2014 The Niagara Falls Illumination Board will be illuminating both the Canadian Horseshoe and American Falls, alternating between red, white and gold tonight from 9:30 to 10 p.m. in recognition of Canada’s gold medal-winning women’s soccer team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After winning bronze at the 2012 London Games and again in 2016 in Rio, the Canadians achieved a thrilling victory over Sweden to secure their gold medal in Tokyo, the first Olympic gold medal in women’s soccer ever achieved by Team Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Falls will be illuminated in an alternating pattern, changing every five minutes between red and white, followed by bright gold, from 9:30 to 10 p.m. this evening. The illumination is also an opportunity to celebrate and recognize the achievements of Canada’s entire Olympic team at the 2020 Games in Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
