📸 NOTL News Family Photos

A big thank you to everyone who came out to our family photo shoot in town last weekend!

Despite the rain, the commitment in this town is strong — it was great to meet some of you face-to-face!

We’re looking forward to doing it again soon.

Special thanks to our sponsor, Niagara Motors in Virgil, for making this event possible.

Check out some of the happy families who joined us below…

👮‍♂️ Speed Camera In Virgil

We’re sure by now you’ve seen the speed camera set up on Stone Road.

There’s been a lot of chatter about it — and some of you might’ve even seen it knocked over once or twice… 😳

BUT…

What you’re really wondering is: has it started issuing tickets, or is it just there for show?

According to yesterday’s edition of The Lake Report, the camera isn’t issuing tickets just yet — but it will start later this month.

🎉 NOTL Testimonials

NOTL Testimonials is a new way for you, our faithful supporters to get your hands into the content writing process. The idea with this segment is to choose a short story or testimonial from one of our subscribers on a memory, highlight, or good experience they’ve had in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

This week our NOTL Testimonial comes from one of our content writers, Matt which serves as an example for what we are looking for in future testimonials!

“Since moving to Niagara, NOTL has truly become my second home. It’s not just the charm of the town or the things to do — it’s the people who make it special. In many places, it’s easy to feel disconnected, but here, community comes naturally. From local businesses who greet you by name to town events that bring neighbours together, NOTL makes it hard not to feel rooted. There’s a shared sense of care and pride that’s felt everywhere — from morning coffee chats to weekend markets. It’s a place I’ve grown to love deeply and one I’m passionate about seeing flourish, not just for myself, but for everyone who calls this community home.”
