One of the biggest treasures here in Niagara is the environment. Beautiful vineyards, awe-inspiring wildlife and thunderous waterfalls all combine to showcase the beauty of this region. For these reasons, it’s important that we understand the need for environmental preservation, especially on Earth Day this Saturday, April 20th.
The Marriott Gateway on the Falls understands this and has numerous green initiatives to help the sustainability of the environment.
- Participated in Earth Hour, ensuring nonessential lights were turned off for 1 hour, while also raising awareness for the need to take action on climate change.
- Ensuring appliances are energy efficient and water consuming devices are retro-fitted.
- Established an Environmental Management Committee to implement policies, procedures and strategies towards a greener environment.
These initiatives represent a commitment to environmental sustainability and an understanding of the natural beauty that surrounds the hotel.
This year on Earth Day, come down to Niagara Falls and witness that natural beauty firsthand. Niagara Parks will hosting it’s forth annual Niagara Glen Earth Day hikes, which offered guided tours of the region. So if you want to celebrate the environment on Earth Day, come to one of most beautiful regions in the country and experience nature.

The Niagara Food and Wine Expo is one of our favourite events of the year. It marks the beginning of the Niagara region’s growing season and all the excitement that goes along with it. The Expo features local wines, good food, and this year, there will be a wide variety of great craft beer from around the world.
This year the Niagara Region will be making a strong appearance on the beer front with both Silversmith Breweries and the Niagara College teaching brewery. Silversmith is rather new to the Niagara Region beer scene, so this should be exciting to sample their hops concoctions.

Some more brands that will be featured at the Niagara Food and Wine Expo include the Highlander Scottish Pale Ale, which is a medium bodied beer with caramel and fresh fruit aromas, and notes of coffee and chocolate. At the Expo, you can also try Fruli fruit beer, made with fresh strawberries and orange peel. But if fruit isn’t your favourite flavour for beer, then maybe you should try Leifman’s blended Belgian beer, which uses a unique blending process where brewers blend aged craft beer with new, sweet beer to create a deliciously refined brew.
If you’re ready to enjoy not only delicious and unique craft beer, but also international wines and delicious culinary creations, then mark your calendars for April 26th - 28th to join us at the Scotiabank Convention Centre in Niagara Falls, Ont.
