“Niagara-on-the-Lake is known for its beautiful, exceptionally maintained parks and facilities, and we take great pride in offering residents and visitors access to these spaces,” Lord Mayor Gary Zalepa said in a media release.
“We hope that everyone will take advantage of the many opportunities available to them and make unforgettable memories this summer.”
