So whether you’re digging out an old playlist, wearing something vintage, or simply appreciating that we’re not currently living in Arctic conditions — consider it officially encouraged.
Now… let’s get into the news 👇
🐶 Real Treats. Real Ingredients.
When it comes to pet treats, most of us are not looking for complicated formulas or a long list of ingredients we cannot pronounce. We simply want to give them something healthy and nutritious.
That is the foundation that 2 Can Grow is built on: clean freeze dried treats for both cats and dogs.
The lineup is simple and clearly labeled, with one protein in every pouch:
• 100% Chicken Breast Freeze Dried Treats
• 100% Beef Freeze Dried Treats
• 100% Duck Freeze Dried Treats
• 100% Salmon Freeze Dried Treats
The treats are carefully prepared in small batches using locally sourced real meat that is gently cooked in homemade bone broth then freeze dried to lock-in maximum flavour while maintaining nutritional value. The result is a high protein, easy to digest treat that is perfect for for training, rewarding, or simply spoiling your four legged family member ❤️
If you pick up the chicken, you are getting real chicken breast. If you grab the salmon, it is real salmon. No fillers, no preservatives, no additives. Just one ingredient in each bag.

Things to Do This Weekend
Luxury Paint & Sip at Konzlemann
Spend Saturday afternoon sipping wine and painting a Sunrise Hot Air Balloon inside Konzelmann Estate Winery. A guided, beginner-friendly experience complete with wine tasting and charcuterie — perfect for a cozy winter outing.
A Scenic Drive
A friend recently asked me what they should do while visiting Niagara — something that felt like a bit of an adventure. The first thing that came to mind was simple: drive the Niagara River Parkway.
It’s one of the most scenic stretches in the region, with winding roads, river views, and plenty of spots to pull over and take it all in. Sometimes the best adventure in town is just taking the long way.

📣 Calling All Real Estate Agents
We want to partner with you.
NOTL is a unique market. Buyers aren’t just purchasing property — they’re buying into lifestyle, community, and long-term value. And we’ve been thinking about ways to create meaningful, real estate–focused content that serves both agents and our readers.
From market snapshots and neighbourhood spotlights to buyer education and seasonal trends, there’s real opportunity to position the right agents in front of a highly engaged local audience.
If you’re active in Niagara-on-the-Lake and interested in exploring what a partnership could look like, we’d love to connect.
We have ideas.
We’re building new content lanes.
And we’re looking for the right people to collaborate with.
Let’s build something valuable for the community — together.
Thanks for reading today’s issue.
If you enjoyed it, pass it along to someone who always asks, “What’s going on in town?”
