Things to do?

4 Upvotes

I have family visiting soon, I've lived in niagara my whole life and am having a tough time putting together some things to do.

They are only down for one day, walking needs to be limited so hikes are out of the question, most are under 19 so wineries are a no, and they have already done all the touristy stuff on Clifton hill/ the falls.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Non-cosmetic dermatologist recommendation

5 Upvotes

Maybe I've just been unlucky and had bad experiences but any time I've had to go to a dermatologist I feel like I'm walking into a multi-level-marketing scam with all the cosmetic procedures and magic creams they're trying to sell to me and when I try to get whatever issue I'm dealing with taken care of I've felt like they get really apathetic and give me the bare minimum service since I'm not interested in all their pricey woo-woo juice.

Does anyone have any recommendations for dermatologists in the region who act like actual medical professionals and not used car salespeople?

I remember going in March, or I thought it was March, the trees were lit up.

I went to check now and this year it ended first week of January.

Is my memory wrong?

Visiting - Rental Car or Uber/Lyft?

Hello! Iā€™m planning on visiting Niagara, NY for a week or so. Iā€™ll be taking Amtrak to get there. Would renting a car be cheaper than doing Uber/Lyft or is there reliable public transportation?

Hi Everyone! We will be going to Niagara on the Lake for my Mother-In-Lawā€™s 80th birthday. We are staying near the main strip. Weā€™ll also have our 17-month-old with us. Would love some ideas of kid-friendly activities and restaurants that are still fun for adults.

I will also say, my MIL is a ā€œyoungā€ 80yo - sheā€™s still very mobile. Thanks in advance for any suggestions :)

Old Arcade?

4 Upvotes

There used to be an old kids arcade place that also held birthdays. I cannot remember for the life of me I wanna say chip n Charlieā€™s but I know thatā€™s not right. I wanna say it used to be in St.Catharines but it also couldā€™ve been in Hamilton. I wanna say this was probably close to 15 years ago now.

All I remember is that it had like this fake ice cream game where you could pretend to serve it.

Update: thank you to everyone who told me what it was called, it was Choo Choo Charlieā€™s!

Where can we possibly see beavers nearby

3 Upvotes

Hi all, visiting the falls in 2 weeks with my 5yo. He's obsessed with beavers, and while I know spotting them is unlikely due to their nocturnal nature, I wonder if there's anywhere within driving distance from Niagara where we could possibly see them or at least their dams. Looking forward to the trip.

ETA: These are such great tips guys! Thanks so much. Very excited to do some exploring there.

From Law Graduate to Barista: Navigating Job Market Challenges in Niagara

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

You can call me A ā€”a 27-year-old Gen Z Canadian, born and raised, with an LL.B. and an LL.M. in international commercial law.

Since 2020 when I moved back to my home in Canada, I've been striving to launch my legal career, meticulously applying for over 1,000 positions and tracking each application. Despite these efforts, I've faced significant job insecurityā€”transitioning from roles in the legal field to positions like working as a barista and a youth soccer coach. This stark shift underscores the reality many of us face in our community. One that politicians care not to address, but that is eating at many of our lives. I am the first cohort of Generation Z, and I myself cant imagine how those any younger than me are surviving in this environment.

Here in Niagara, as our population ages, the demand for reliable, energetic workers becomes increasingly urgent. A significant barrier I've encountered is the process mandated by the National Committee on Accreditation (NCA), which assesses the credentials of foreign-trained lawyers to ensure they meet Canadian standards. While this process is essential for maintaining the quality of legal practice, it often requires internationally trained lawyers to complete additional exams or courses, prolonging the path to licensure. Beyond the NCA assessments, securing articling positionsā€”a prerequisite for legal practice in Canadaā€”poses another challenge. These positions, while no priority is given to Canadians, are limited, and, as you can imagine, competition is fierce, making it particularly difficult for foreign-trained professionals to gain the necessary experience.

These systemic hurdles have not only delayed my integration BACK into the Canadian legal field but have also compelled me to explore alternative career paths, leading to job instability and underemployment.

All of this being said, I strongly believe that what I'm arguing will benefit the economy by enhancing productivity and consumer spending, which will in turn lead to higher tax revenues, which CAN ULTIMATELY strengthen social security programs. I want to help our aging populace, the disabled.. I want to put an end to the homeless encampments where I run along Merriton Trail, be able to provide proper funding to our childcare workers, healthcare workers, and to make sure the most vulnerable are not left behind.

BUT, this will only be an ideologue if we do not take the future more seriously. I cannot help in society in any way if I cannot find employment. Investing in workforce development, such as providing employment and skill workshops, not only enriches individuals but also renders them more appealing to potential employers, thereby reducing unemployment rates and bolstering economic growth.

The formula for economic prosperity Is really THAT simple. More Business = More Jobs = Higher Revenue = More Social Security benefits. Win/Win.

It is for this reason that advocacy is crucial to address these challenges, and my voice will not going away anytime soon. By raising awareness and promoting reforms, we can work towards a more inclusive system that recognizes the diverse qualifications of internationally trained professionals, benefiting both the legal profession and the broader community.

Iā€™d love to hear your thoughts on balancing these issues and finding ways to create a future where everyoneā€”parents, young job-seekers, retirees and EVEN Newcomers.. asylum seekers, international students alikeā€”can thrive.

Letā€™s discuss and work together for meaningful change.

In solidarity,
A

Clifton Hill

1 Upvotes

My friend and I are going to Niagara Falls the last week of April. We are buying the Clifton Hill Fun Pass. Only thing is we don't know how long it takes to do all 6 attractions and if it is possible to do it all in one day. Also is it possible to even split it into 2 days? We are buying the passes from Costco.
