Palatine donates to heritage trail committee

A donation of $550 to help rebuildĀ Niagara-on-the-Lake's heritage trail was made by Palatine Hills winery this week.

The winery teamed up with the Upper Canada Heritage Trail committee for a fundraiser which donated 25 per cent of wine purchases towardĀ rehabilitation of the trail.

In the morning on Sept. 2 the cheque was presented by Palatine Hills to Tony Chisholm, theĀ trail committee's vice-chair.

ā€œThis is a great example of support from a local company to beautify and restore this valuable trail for everyone in Niagara-on-the-Lake,ā€ Chisholm said in a media release from the town.

ā€œThanks to Palatine Hills Estate Winery and Charles Neufeld for their outstanding contribution.ā€

As efforts grew to rehabilitate and preserve the trail that followsĀ the historic Erie and Ontario Railway lineĀ along Con. 1, the committee was formed in 2019 with a group of volunteers.

The railwayĀ was one of the firstĀ in Ontario and was in use for more than a century.

Donations in support of the project are still being accepted and can be sent to: The Heritage Trail Committee c/o of the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, P.O. Box 100, Virgil, ON, L0S 1T0.
