Established in 1895, the Niagara Historical Society is dedicated to understanding the history of Niagara-on-the-Lake. The most important aspect of the work of the Society is the maintenance of the Museum collection which began in 1896 and is one of Ontario’s most important collections. Plan a visit to the Niagara Historical Society Museum to discover the unique stories of historic Niagara-on-the-Lake. Located 20km north of Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake provided a new home for refugees, was the capital of Upper Canada, was in the middle of a war zone and visited by millions as a place of recreation for over 100 years; these stories play a major role in the development of Canada.
The Niagara Historical Society & Museum houses one of the finest collections of early Canadian artifacts and archives. Visitors today are treated with one of the most extensive collections, reflecting the history of one of the oldest settlements in Ontario. A Census conducted by Col. John Butler records 84 settlers along the western side of the Niagara River in 1782, by 1785, 800 inhabitants of Irish, Scottish, English, German and Dutch descent are found in Niagara.
Today the Museum is open 7 days a week. The Museum features a gallery dedicated to 10,000 years of the town’s history, a War of 1812 gallery, the Carnochan gallery and a temporary exhibition gallery. Call the Museum for details of exhibitions and events or check out their website.
Museum Hours
May – October: 10:00am to 5:00pm daily
November – April: 1:00pm – 5:00pm daily
The museum is closed on the following holiday’s: Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving day, and during the Christmas season between December 18th and January 1st.
Kendo is a vigorous, full-contact Martial Art derived from the original sword training of the Japanese Samurai. Practiced by millions of men, women and children worldwide, Kendo is growing in popularity in North America.
Kendo in English is broken down as follows: Ken (Sword) Do (Way, or Path). So, translated into English, Kendo is “The Way of The Sword”.
The Niagara Kendo Club is run by Sensei Mark Kawabe, a 5th degree black belt who has trained extensively at various clubs in Canada and Japan over the past 25 years.
Kendo training consists of drills which focus on improving co-ordination, strength, breath control and stamina. Beginning students spend their time honing basic strikes both with and without partners. Advanced students wear bogu (armour) and practice basic and advanced techniques with partners. There is always a session of keiko (free sparring) for advanced students.
CLASS SCHEDULE
Class Times: every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:40 to 9:40 p.m.
Location: Welland Martial Arts Centre, 40 Division St. (just east of Post Office on north side of Division)
Students must be age 8 or older.
If you have questions or want to attend a class, please contact Mark Kawabe at 289-241-3080 or drop by the dojo.

“There are tons of gigs like this going on across the country – seasoned musicians, holding court as invited guests make each week’s show a special event … Some, of course, do it better than others. Together since 2003, The Niagara Rhythm Section play like the dream band every guest longs for – tight yet supple, responding to the musical needs of the moment with assurance and aplomb, accomplished enough to get along quite well on their own, yet selfless enough to concentrate on making the star shine.” – Canadian Blues.ca
They call their show “Niagara’s best kept secret.”
The Niagara Rhythm Section was formed in 2003 when the Anchorage Inn in Niagara-on-the-Lake was looking for a band every Saturday night for a six-month gig. Six years later when the Anchorage finally closed its doors, they were still there. Without missing a beat they continued their Saturday unrehearsed musical adventures just down the road at Corks for about a year. Moving on from Corks in Oct 2010 the boys continue rockin’ out every Saturday night in their new home, the beautiful Old Winery Restaurant.
The core of the band consists of Steve Goldberger on bass and vocals, Steve Grisbrook on guitar and vocals, Dave Norris on drums, Penner MacKay on Percussion, Sandra Marynissen on percussion and either Denis Keldie, Rodger Niznik or Herb Nelson on organ or piano.
While the band is pretty fantastic and put on a great show of their own, each week they invite a different guest recording artist to front the show. They come from far and wide (all over Ontario and Canada, the US and even England) and cross over all styles of music including blues, R&B, country, folk, pop, jazz and even Brazilian; all performing with the NRS without any rehearsal. It’s a true jam session every week.
“They accompany the guest performers by reinterpreting the appropriate music, and they do it on the fly. There’s a 10-15 second window for band members to get accustomed to the songs as they are called out by the guest. Then they find a way to get the job done, often by offering inspiring new variations on music their guests may well consider old-hand.” – Niagara Advance, April, 2008
