Back to School Shopping: Supporting Local Businesses
September marks back to school for many families. No matter how they will be returning to school, here are a few of our favourite items from local shops that could help make the return much easier (and more fun) for everyone.

Craft Coffee + Goods | St. Catharines
You will likely remember this as the Craft Arts Market that was located in downtown St. Catharines. With a move to an online platform, Craft Coffee + Goods still offers all the artisanal and unique items that we've come to know and love.
Whether you're looking for hair accessories for a back to school look, fun stationery to use, clean living products like reusable snack bags and beeswax wrap to help make lunchtime more sustainable, or fun pins and patches to decorate a school bag, there are so many great items to explore that support local and quality handmade goods.
Items are available to be shipped or can be picked up in St. Catharines at the Craft Coffee Goods Warehouse located at 55 Geneva Street.

CURRENTS: Niagara's Power Transformed | Niagara Falls
The Niagara Power Station has newly opened up to the public. Starting September 3, a fantastic show of sights and sound will take you on an immersive journey within the heart of the Power Station.

Light Up the Night - Paddle Boarding | Niagara-on-the-Lake
