Niagara Falls Review

The Niagara Falls Review started its journey in 1873, thanks to founders William Henry Anger and James Edwin Anger, who officially launched the paper in 1879. Since the 1930s, it has been published every day, serving as the main news outlet for Niagara Falls and the surrounding areas, including Fort Erie and Niagara-on-the-Lake. For a long time, the paper was owned by Roy Thomson and played a significant role in the Thomson media group.

As Evan Rotella recalls, it was already shaping up to be a stressful week. It’s mid-April and the Niagara singer/songwriter has a gig that night. The next night, he’s performing at the Niagara Music Awards, where he’s nominated for four awards. The day after is an exam for his media and communications course at Brock University. But before all that, he finds himself in a room with other artists in Orillia, fighting for a spot at this year’s Mariposa Folk Festival.
A flawed but feisty ‘Major Barbara’ returns to Shaw Festival

5 days ago | niagarafallsreview.ca | John Law

Of all the long-winded boors Bernard Shaw filtered his voice through, none are as truly timeless as Andrew Undershaft. A man who lives under a “religion of wrongness,” according to his wife. Who makes millions manufacturing weapons and dreads the prospect of peace. Who uses 10 words when one will suffice. If he were around today, he’d have a U.S. cabinet position. He is the undisputed star of “Major Barbara,” despite the play being named after his daughter.

‘Probably unconstitutional’: Niagara Falls policy banning signs at council may face challenge

1 week ago | niagarafallsreview.ca | Ray Spiteri

Are sign bans at municipal council meetings unconstitutional? The City of Niagara Falls may find out after it decided to kick a small group of sign-toting women out of a public meeting this past week and called in Niagara Regional Police to do the job. The move by the city has come to the attention of the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF), an organization that last year forced Niagara Region to back down on a procedural bylaw provision that banned signage in the audience at council meetings.
Samantha Ava joins ‘Songs & Stories’ series in Niagara Falls

1 week ago | niagarafallsreview.ca | John Law

It wasn’t enough for the universe to send Samantha Ava a sign her life had to change. Not even two signs. By the third time, the Fisherville singer figured she better listen to these wake-up calls. During her teen years, she dove into drugs and alcohol to deal with a “severely traumatic experience.” With her life veering out of control, she flipped her Jeep into a field one night after a party. She walked away with barely a scratch.

City officials will work on solutions to concerns raised by a tourist-area business related to a seasonal street vendor located just inches from his brick-and-mortar store on Victoria Avenue. “I’m a big believer in what (the owner of Grand Bazaar Niagara) is saying in the sense that we need to give some preferential treatment to brick-and-mortar business,” said Coun. Victor Pietrangelo during Tuesday’s meeting.
Ongoing legal case should not ‘stifle’ democratic process in Niagara Falls council, says advocacy group founder

1 week ago | niagarafallsreview.ca | Ray Spiteri

Niagara Falls’ concerns over a delegation seeking support for greater municipal accountability could have been worked around, say spokespersons for a group of women kicked out of a city council meeting this week. And the fact an ongoing legal process involving a city councillor resulted in the city blocking the group from delegating at the meeting supports the argument greater accountability is needed, says the provincial group’s founder.

When asked whether the park will open for a 64th season this summer, a park spokesperson said “no final decision” has been made yet on whether the Niagara Falls attraction will open the gates again as it’s in the process of finalizing a sale. “Marineland’s focus is in actively pursuing a transition to new ownership,” the park stated when contacted by The Review on Wednesday.
