Do you remember when I visited Niagara Falls in the spring and it was empty of people and full of Falls?
The headline yesterday was how much it is suffering because of the lack of tourism. It receives the most visitors of any water falls in the world - more than 12 million a year.
This 'dire' headline was swiftly followed by a YouTube video recorded on July 18th showing crowded Clifton Hill with non-masking wearing visitors. A worker at the Go-Kart speedway tested positive so a tracing activity has ensued. The mayor jumped into action with 'ambassadors' to get control of the crowds.
We tried so hard - there's the contrast of the Maid of the Mist with six passengers vs and the US boat with 50% capacity so dozens, even hundreds of people.
Niagara is at the Stage 3 reopening today - so we'll be on alert to see what happens. Will that traffic on the QEW towards Niagara's attractions fill up? Will those ambassadors keep people distanced and masked? We'll find out soon.
It is butterfly season with all their favourite flowers in bloom.
