Keep you eyes open for a serge of internet sales following Black Friday. Many online retailer try to take advantage of the momentum by offering huge discounts on the weekend and Monday following Black Friday. This phenomenon is dubbed Cyber Moday. This event gives Canadians, who did not get a chance to do some cross border shopping, the chance to participate in the savings found in the US.
You will come across retailers who still do not ship to the Canada, but don’t be disappointed. We have a solution. You can now have package shipped to a US address and than forwarded to Canada. I know of two such services. MyUS.com which is being promoted by PayPal, is offering no set-up fee and a discount to 15% to Canadians. The other is Borderlinx which is available to US and UK customers and is offering Canadian Visa Credit Card customers a 15% discount.
That being said here is a list of online shops that I found on RedFlagDeals.com that service Canadians and will likely have great deals: more…
Fashion Outlets of Niagara always has great deals that are so cheap you don’t even have to get a cash advance. During Black Friday they are simply crazy.
Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls is just minutes from the Falls, International Bridges and Casinos. Take I -190 North to Exit 22 south then make a left onto Factory Outlet Boulevard.

Niagara Falls Ontario Santa Claus Parade is this weekend. The Parade start Saturday at 11 am at Victoria Ave. and Armoury St., travels north on Victoria to Valley Way and onto Queen St., ending at City Hall.
I have been lucky enough to enjoy skating the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, and the Rockefeller Center in New York. This Winter I plan on ice skating just a few feet from Niagara Falls at the attraction dubbed “The Rink at the Brink”. I can’t wait to see the view at night when the falls is lit up.
The attraction is very affordable. Admission, including skate rental, is $10 for adults and $8 for children. The prices are even cheaper if you bring your own skates.
If you are planning a shopping trip to Buffalo, Niagara Falls, or Toronto keep visiting NiagaraBlog.com. We will be featuring a series of posts that will save you time and money.
Travellers interested in a cross border shopping spree are probably contemplating which border crossing to take. You have 3 options; the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls; the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge in Queenston; or the Peace Bridge in Buffalo. The wait times for these vary so you should check which crossing to take right before you depart. The two most reliable websites are:
USA: Niagara Falls Bridge Commission
Canada: Border Crossing Times
These are great resources, however to get live up to the minute information we recommend that you use your mobile phone and the Government of Canada Web Poratal ( www.wap.gc.ca).
To access border crossing wait times information just follow these easy steps on your WAP enabled phone.
1. With your phone go to www.wap.gc.ca
2. Choose Services

The 2009 LocalsKnow.ca winter campaign has just kicked off. The site encourages Canadians to share and seek out their favourite winter places and experiences. Its goals: a shot in the arm to both Canada’s winter tourist economy and the media industry, plus amplifying any existing programs run by partners.
Here are some great local Niagara Falls Deals that we discovered:
Video news coverage of the Rosbergs Department Store Fire:
A new online campaign titled, “Save the Bou,” is hoping to send 1,000s of email to Premier McGuinty urging him to take action and protect the Caribou.
The same Woodland Caribou that appears on the quarter in your pocket is quickly disappearing from the southern Boreal Forest of Ontario (just 5000 remaining), despite a promise from Premier McGuinty, over two years ago, to protect the animal’s habitat. more…
