🦇🦉Happy Halloween from the Niagara River RAP team!

When the sun goes down, the Niagara River comes alive with a whole cast of characters. Bats, owls, raccoons, skunks, and opossums are just a few of the species that are most active after dark. These nighttime species play important roles in keeping the Niagara River ecosystem healthy.

The Niagara River Remedial Action Plan team would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at the Ball’s Falls Thanksgiving Festival this month! 🍂🍁

We had many interesting conversations throughout the festival. Some visitors had specific questions about the Niagara River, its shorelines, and fishing conditions, while others were eager to learn about the Remedial Action Plan, current projects, and the progress being made to restore and protect the unique ecosystems along the Niagara River.

These conversations are a great reminder of how important it is to connect with the community, share knowledge, and hear what matters most to the people who live, work, and spend time along the Niagara River. 🌊

🪶World Migratory Bird Day

Each year, waterfowl take to the skies, travelling incredible distances between their breeding and wintering grounds. Along the way, wetlands and waterways, like the Niagara River provide essential habitat for feeding, resting, and shelter.

The Niagara River is an important stopover for migrating waterfowl, offering a place to rest and recharge during their journey.

This Migratory Bird Day, the Niagara River Rap team invites you to learn about some of the birds that use the Niagara River by visiting: https://ourniagarariver.ca/niagara-river-ecology/

Today, September 30, is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This day honours the children who never returned home from residential schools, the survivors, their families, and Indigenous communities who continue to be impacted by the lasting effects of the residential school system.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a time to listen, learn, and reflect on the truths of Canada's history, while recognizing that reconciliation is an ongoing journey and a shared responsibility. Taking time to read Indigenous perspectives, attend local events, support Indigenous businesses and artists, and learn about Indigenous histories are all meaningful ways to take part.

As we reflect today, we recognize that the Niagara River flows through lands that have long been connected to Indigenous Peoples and cultures.
