👋 Dear Notler, You're Invited!!

Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Niagara Motors & Red Roof Retreat:

• What is Niagara Motors — the local dealership bringing people together

• 4th Annual Charity Car Show — a summer favourite, back on July 26

• What is Red Roof Retreat — the heart behind the event supporting families with special needs

Let’s pop the hood and check what’s in store!

🚘 Niagara Motors: More Than Just a Lot Full of Cars

You might know Niagara Motors from the rows of shiny vehicles on Niagara Stone Road—or maybe you recognize them as the generous sponsor behind our recent NOTL News photoshoot (yes, they helped make us look this good).

But they’re more than just a dealership—they’re a long-standing part of the NOTL community. Family-run and proudly local, Niagara Motors has a way of showing up where it matters: supporting causes, backing events, and quietly making things happen behind the scenes.

And when it comes to their annual Charity Car Show, they don’t just bring the horsepower—they bring the heart. From organizing the event to raising funds for Red Roof Retreat, they know how to turn a Saturday in July into something memorable.

So while they can absolutely help you find your next set of wheels, what really sets them apart is how they roll—always community-first, and always with purpose.

(P.S. That video above? Yeah… It was created by our team at NOTL News last summer — a little-known part of what we do. In addition to written features, we also offer visual media support to help local businesses share their stories in engaging, creative ways. Interested in something like this for your business?

🔥 Revving Up for a Good Cause

Coming up on Saturday, July 26th…

Mark your calendars and polish your fenders: the Niagara Motors 4th Annual Car Show is rolling back into town this summer.

Running from 10 AM to 2 PM, this annual favourite is a feast for gearheads and families alike. Whether you’re into chrome classics, muscle cars, or just good BBQ — there’s something here for everyone.

🚗 Highlights this year include:

• Dozens of vintage and specialty vehicles

• BBQ, cold drinks, and inflatables for the kids

• Charity raffle with gift baskets, service vouchers, and more

• Trophies for Best in Show, Best Backstory, and Manager’s Choice

• Custom event shirts, with proceeds supporting Red Roof

This event isn’t just about horsepower — it’s about heart. All proceeds from the raffle, merch, and more go to Red Roof, making every burnout and burger a small act of giving.

🤔 What is Red Roof Retreat?

At the heart of this year’s Niagara Motors Charity Car Show is a cause that’s close to home for many in our community: Red Roof Retreat.

Founded in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Red Roof Retreat offers essential programs and respite services for children, youth, and adults with special needs, as well as support for their families. Their work is built on one simple yet powerful goal: to create a place where everyone feels valued, supported, and at home.

Red Roof offers a wide range of services, including day programs, overnight respite care, weekend retreats, and therapeutic recreation activities. These programs don’t just offer care—they build confidence, foster friendships, and create meaningful connections for individuals who often face isolation in other aspects of life.

The organization also provides families support, giving caregivers time to rest, recharge, and know that their loved ones are in a safe and welcoming environment.

What makes Red Roof Retreat truly unique is its deep community roots and the genuine joy that radiates from everything they do. Whether it’s a cooking class, a barn visit, or just time spent together, their programs are infused with warmth, dignity, and fun.

Every dollar raised at the car show goes directly to supporting these services—and helping Red Roof continue to be a place where care meets compassion.
