Niagara Dragon boaters take to water in Welland
Dragon boaters take to water in Welland
The 2014 Canadian Dragon Boat Championships took place this weekend in Welland. The International Flatwater Centre played host for the 8th annual event.
Dragon boat is the essence of team work, dedicated athletes working in perfect symmetry all charging for the finish line.
About 2,000 people and 84 crews took part in the competition.
“I have diabetes and it’s all gone,” said Manny Directo, a 74-year-old racer.
Dragon boat is for everyone regardless of athletic ability.
“Dragon boat is accessible. The most dynamic sport. Twenty people in boat. No rock stars. Everybody’s got the same job,” said one racer.
“It doesn’t matter what your journey in life is. People say I don’t have big enough arms. You know what, anybody can do it,” said Jordan Morgan, a national team athlete.
There are hardcore competitive racers and then there is those who just want to be sociable and have a good time.
Directo says the sport keeps him young. He says he’ll go until he’s 80. He says age shouldn’t be an excuse.
“Come on over. I was one like that. I can’t do it. I have arthritis. I’m too old…like this,” he said.
The course will host events for the 2015 Pan Am games in July, and according to athletes, it’s world class.

Niagara on the Lake Historical Cottage Rental
Maria Rekrut here from Niagara on the Lake Cottage Rental - I've lived in Niagara on the Lake for 30 years. Even after all these years, I still find things to discover and enjoy.
I purchased my adorable historical, shabby chic cottage in 1988 and lived in it until 2000. I started to rent out my cottage out in 2000 as a vacation rental and have been renting it out ever since.
When I purchased my property I always had the intention of renting my adorable cottage out as a vacation rental, I did this so other visitors could stay overnight and enjoy Niagara at their leisure.

Niagara on the Lake a Place to Vist with it's Rich History
Niagara-on-the-Lake
A Rich History and an Exciting Future
Elegant, historic, and celebrated as the prettiest town in Canada, Niagara-on-the-Lake provides residents and visitors with access to an unsurpassed quality of life. Here, picturesque wine routes wind through lush orchards and vineyards, past beautiful heritage buildings, by Shaw Festival theatres, and across historic battlefields.
With many National Historic Sites, history certainly comes alive in this remarkable town. Originally the site of the neutral First Nations village of Onghiara and inhabited for over 10,000 years, Niagara-on-the-Lake has many historic highlights, such as the passing of the first anti-slavery legislation in the British Empire, as well as historic lows, such as being almost completely destroyed by fire during the War of 1812. At the centre of the town’s historic life is Fort George, the War of 1812 stronghold that today hosts vivid reenactments, lively fife and drums marches, and fascinating daily tours.
Niagara-on-the-Lake is also a town that is confidently striding into the future. Innovative and courageous present day pioneers are establishing award-winning wineries, producing delicious fruits and vegetables, inventing new dishes in superb restaurants, and providing visitors with access to fascinating shops, renowned Shaw Festival plays, and more.
In 1896, the Canadian author William Kirby wrote “Niagara is as near Heaven as any town whatever.” We absolutely agree! http://thevillagetnd.com/our-story/niagara-on-the-lake

Niagara on the Lake - Sunday Morning
I'm a cyclist and have been cycling since I was 6 years old. I love
it. One of my favourite rides is going through the town of Niagara on
the Lake from one end to the other. I usually start at Garrison Village
drive, go on Lakeshore Road, go up Shakespeare Road until I get down to
Lake Ontario.
I then stay on that road, following the Lake and that way I cycle down to the centre of town. Then I can either go up King
Street, until I get to Mary Street and then back to Lakeshore Road and then to Garrison Village Drive.
I have a lot of other rides I'll share with you in the future.
Come back to Http://niagaranews.blogspot.com to get more tips on other cycling trails to discover!! Happy Cycling!!
