Niagara Falls Attraction TD RINK at the Brink Prepares to Open for Third Season
From a PR Web press release:
One of the cornerstones of the Niagara-in-winter experience – the TD RINK at the Brink – opens to the public for its third season on Thursday, December 1.
The TD RINK – Niagara’s answer to the iconic outdoor ice skating rinks at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto and Rockefeller Centre in New York City – is located just a snowball’s throw from the brink of the world-famous Horseshoe Falls.
The signature Niagara Falls attraction of the CAA Winter Festival of Lights, the TD RINK offers public skating, skate and locker rentals and free helmets for those who need them, as well as a skate sharpening service and group rates for holiday outings, parties, school trips and corporate team-building exercises. RINK adds yet another unique and fun family experience to the CAA Winter Festival of Lights, which is already one of the most iconic festivals in Ontario.
TD, the title sponsor of the TD RINK, has generously agreed to provide six ‘TD Free Skate Days’. ‘TD Free Skate Days’ allow members of the public to experience the TD RINK at the Brink complements of TD. Additionally, the TD Comfort Crew will be in attendance at each ‘TD Free Skate Day’ providing complementary hot chocolate and a souvenir photo.

Steve Santini escapes from the Dagger Trap at Ripley’s Niagara Falls
Yesterday I posted a press release about escape artist Steve Santini appearing at the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum on Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls. I was able to go down and see it. I got there just after 11 am (it was supposed to start at 11 am), and he had already done it! I was disappointed, but then he did it again. I was able to take a few pictures and a video.
Here are the pictures:
I also took a video of his escape. There were lots of people moving around with cameras, so it was hard to get a good shot. You can watch the video on YouTube, or view it below:
