The Province of Ontario has ruled out forced amalgamation in the Niagara Region for now, bringing relief to local municipalities concerned about losing their identity and autonomy. In St. Catharines, cleanup continues after Monday’s CN train derailment, with repairs expected to take about a week and some impact on GO Transit service. With Easter weekend approaching, families across Niagara can look forward to egg hunts, farm events, and milder weather — perfect timing for outdoor spring activities.
