Jackson Triggs is known for Canada’s most awarded winery and we were so thankful to have the opportunity to visit and experience first-hand how their wine is crafted.
The tour we got around the winery was very informative and interesting, to see and learn about the process into wine making. We also had the chance to try some of their tasty and delicious wine. We were able to visit the vineyard, their wine shop and the room in which the wine is made. Having to experience this was amazing because I’ve never seen how wine is created and was not aware of the steps between the grapes and the bottled wine.
Recommend
We highly recommend checking out this winery if you have a strong passion for wine, or if you have the desire to learn about wine crafting. Since Niagara-on-the-Lake has many wineries it is a must activity to try out as it is part of the communities culture.
The Skylon Tower appeals to big groups and families, however the Revolving Restaurant is great for romantic dinners as you can view all of Niagara-on-the-Lake while enjoying your meal.
Cost
The Skylon Tower offers many tickets for children and adults.
The Skylon Tower holds memories whenever I visit to Niagara Falls, although I have never been up in the observation deck until we went on this school trip. In the past when I went to to the Skylon Tower I would just play in the arcade, as well as pool and bowling for just 20$ per hundred tokens. When we went to the observation deck I saw a different side of Niagara Falls that I have never seen before, it shows how Canada has so much to offer and a jaw dropping view of the falls and the building that laid the foundation of the city. As I took in the beautiful scenery I looked around and saw that tourists were very diverse from all over the world especially most of them are from the United states, there was also groups from Asia and Europe. As well as young and older generation were there enjoying the view of this grand falls. As I walked out of the tower I saw the friendliness of the photobooth people and they were opened on my idea on renovating the place to look more pleasing but they only focused on the observation deck and restaurant rather than the rest of the lobby or underground.

The Skylon Tower is a must see when visiting Niagara Falls, at an affordable price you’ll be able to witness Niagara from breathtaking view.

Demographics
The Scotiabank Convention Centre targets a wide variety of audience; starting from kids who are able to attend events held in the convention centre, to teens, young adults, seniors, and even international visitors. It is found to be this way because the convention centre does not focus on a particular theme, yet focuses on presenting a spread of multiple events. The architectural layout was conceived to appreciate natural light, it was achieved by including erecting walls with extensive floor-to-ceiling windows. From lighting fixtures to the interior furnishing, the facilities visible features are meant to encourage connection with the surrounding environment. In addition, as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver certified building, Scotiabank Convention Centre was constructed in a very sustainable manner, making use of both local and recycled construction materials to contribute to the regional economy and reduce the air pollution associated with transportation.
Description
Our tour began on the Second Level of the facility where we met our tour guide in the Pre-Function Space. He took us throughout the floor plan of the building telling us about the history and purpose of every room, routes and halls within the facility, and other extra space in the building. He first lead us to the Main Level of the building where we witnessed the great deal of space where they held their events. We were brought there to be introduced and to examine the area of the Exhibition Halls, Fallsview Theatre/ Jr. Ballroom, and Peller Estates Ballroom. After the tour on the Main Level, the tour guide showed us the use and purpose of the Lower Level of the building. This is where our class was welcomed by kitchen associates and was told to observe the environment of the kitchen where they would prepare different dishes being served in the Main Level for an event. The kitchen was not the only main function of the Lower Level, the Theatre Backstage can also be found on the Lower Level of the facility. It contained a Green Room, Costume Room, and the Star Rooms where the performers would tend to get ready before an event. Moving forward on the tour, the class was able to access the Theater Backstage which lead us back on the Main Level in the Exhibition Hall. We believe that this tour was given to us by Scotiabank Convention Centre, so that we could experience how it feels to be a customer/audience, an associate, and a performer of the convention centre.

Humber College was given a tour in Niagara’s largest convention and meeting facility. It happens to be steps away from Niagara’s famous waterfall. A building that operates 24 hours with 300,000 square feet of convention space, a central location in the Fallsview Entertainment District, walking distance to 4,000 branded guestrooms and easy access to wine country, you can plan to be impressed by Scotiabank Convention Centre.
Niagara Falls Tourism is great for those who are visiting, looking for accommodations, restaurants, activities and attractions. Many of the tourists that visit are from Canada, The United States and United Kingdom, with approximately over 12 million tourists a year.
Experience
During the presentation we didn’t feel that Becky White/Christina Marcotte’s was not that engage enough for our group of visitors, the presenter was reading straight from the PowerPoint making it scripted and didn’t seem to have that knowledge on what she was talking about. Although the presentation was not that intriguing, the presenter was clear and loud for everyone to hear.
Recommendation
In our opinion we would not recommend the presentation to our viewers. To create the best itinerary for your Niagara Falls trip we would suggest to check out various websites that the community of Niagara has created for their visitors. The websites have much to offer such as; event schedules, tickets and packages to attractions, maps and guides, frequently asked questions, and coupons for your visit. Another recommendation would be asking the tour operators that are provided in the city, as they have many brochures/pamphlets and they can advise their own favourites.
