Swift water rescue training prepares The Niagara Parks Police Service to face the unpredictable currents, massive volume and sheer power of the Niagara River while working to protect the millions who visit each year. (fb)

Tonight, the Falls will be illuminated in a brilliant shade of orange at the top of every hour for 15 minutes in honour of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡 Today, and every day at Niagara Parks, is an opportunity to honour those who are survivors of the Canadian residential school system and continue to promote truth-telling along the 56km Niagara River Corridor. Niagara Parks is home to a rich and extensive Indigenous history and culture that we are pleased to showcase to millions of guests from around the world. We are committed to making the promise of truth and reconciliation real and we are proud to collaborate with Indigenous communities to support meaningful programming and initiatives across our sites. As we take time to observe this day of reflection, we encourage everyone to continue the conversation of truth-telling and reconciliation with the Indigenous people of Turtle Island. (fb)
