We at The Lake Report are happy to announce the publication of our special Winter Edition magazine which will be available Dec. 3.

After an outpouring of positive feedback from residents, community members and business owners alike about our special Summer Edition magazine, we set out to shine a light on the cozy hangouts, exciting activities and festive events that make Niagara-on-the-Lake the gorgeous winter wonderland it has become renowned for.

Read about the finest ways to celebrate the winter season in NOTL: A Guide for Distinguished Explorers.

Learn more about a few of the town’s choice restaurants and why The Lake Report deemed them five-star locations. Each eatery offers its own unique dining experience and ambiance.

Lace up those skates and head to the skating rink near Fort George National Historic Site, which features a warming ambiance, special events and open skating times from December until March.

The Meridian Credit Union Arena is another hotspot for open skating times.

And you can’t forget the Wayne Gretzky Estate Winery’s signature outdoor rink and whiskey bar.

Follow along on a self-guided walking tour, exploring the hidden stories of NOTL’s interesting history and oldest buildings with the guidance of Niagara’s History Unveiled columnist Denise Ascenzo. The history unveiled contributions are a staple segment in each week’s issue of The Lake Report since its inception.

NOTL’s resident Santa Claus and contributing writer Tim Taylor imparts holiday wisdom and advice with a “nice-to-do” list of local activities and events.

And don’t forget about the Candlelight Stroll and the Niagara-on-the-Lake Christmas Parade – holiday must-sees which take place each year in the core of Old Town.

As nights draw longer and days grow colder the holiday spirit in Niagara-on-the-Lake is just ramping up – pick up a copy of our special edition so you won’t miss out on any of the action.

Because the magazine is focused on visitors, copies will be distributed to hotels, B&Bs and numerous businesses around town. However, it is chock full of great stories, stellar photography and spectacular advertisements promoting the best of NOTL. Feel free to pick one up in town or drop by our office to get one while quantities last.
