Canada’s newest convention hot spot
From Business Link Niagara:
Canada’s Honeymoon City has long been known as a tourist destination. Anchored by the iconic Niagara Falls itself, a thriving hospitality and attractions sector has become the face of the city.
That isn’t going away, but Niagara Falls is taking big strides to go beyond the bright lights to position itself as one of Canada’s top destinations for conventions, conferences and trade shows.
“Tourism is very much driven by the seasons, but conventions and business travellers will make Niagara Falls a year-round destination,” says Anthony Annunziata, Vice-President of Marketing at the Marriott Gateway on the Falls . “Niagara Falls has a premier facility for large corporate gatherings, with all the amenities to keep your employees, delegates and clients happy when not on the convention floor.”

Scotiabank Convention Centre big hit with visitors
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Pretty impressive.
That’s what most people were saying on the weekend after getting their first opportunity to tour the new $100-million Scotiabank Convention Centre on Stanley Ave., near Dunn St., in Niagara Falls.
The biggest headache for most drivers was getting stuck in long lines of traffic just making their way to the centre, and then trying to find a parking spot.
On Saturday afternoon, there were times when cars were backed up on Stanley Ave., all the way to Ferry St., and it wasn’t much better for those coming from the south end at McLeod Rd.

Convention centre game changer
From Niagara This Week:
Described as a critical piece of the pie in terms of attracting people to Niagara, the gleaming new Scotiabank Convention Centre opened in Niagara Falls on Friday to much fanfare.
Years in the making, the new centre across from the old Loretto Academy attracted hundreds of people to the opening celebration.
It’s expected the $100-million building, which received federal and provincial funding as well as funding from local business improvement areas and the private sector, will become an institution that generations of people will use for graduation ceremonies, proms, weddings, and business meetings.
It’s also expected that the convention centre will have a huge economic impact: it’s already created 70 full-time and 210 part-time jobs, and it’s projected that it will generate $83 million worth of new visitor expenditures in the region annually.
If those projections hold true, it will practically pay for itself in a little over a year.

Opening set N.F., Ont. convention center
From Buffalo Business First:
Just a few days before the grand opening of the Scotiabank Convention Centre, Kerry Painter is able to finally get rid of her hard hat and steel-toed shoes as she walks around the building.
The 288,000-square-foot Niagara Falls, Ont. convention center is that close to opening.
Crews inside and outside the Stanley Avenue facility are spending the final days before the center’s official debut Friday afternoon focusing less on bricks-and-mortar issues and more on putting the final touches on the $100 million building that many believe will be a critical piece of Niagara Falls’ tourism and hospitality business.

Dream finally coming true for convention centre
From the Niagara Falls Review:
“I am so sick of wearing hard hats,” Kerry Painter gripes with a weary smile.
She has a point. She looks like a construction worker in virtually every picture taken of her these past three years. It was fun at first — the groundbreaking, the first cement truck, the first stained glass window. Now, barely a week until the $105-million Scotiabank Convention Centre Niagara opens, she’s full of mixed emotions.
She’s anxious for it to be finished. But she wants to prolong this moment.

Convention Centre nearly done
From Niagara This Week:
Kerry Painter has a busy week ahead of her.
As the president and general manager of the soon-to-be-complete Scotiabank Convention Centre, there are a lot of last minute details to tend to before the grand opening next Friday. The $100-million project on Stanley Avenue in Niagara Falls is coming in on-budget and almost a full-month early. The early opening, Painter said, is because of the increased demand for the space. The new convention centre had already booked events before ground broke in May 2009, but as construction continue, spots kept filling up. She said grand opening plans kept getting moved forward, until it finally reached the April 8 date that has now been set.
