Ontario's Minister of Tourism Zee Hamid was on hand yesterday at the site over-looking the Niagara River, to mark the end of pre-construction planning and site preparation.

Niagara Parks is workiing with Toronto Power Hotel Inc, as it spends $350-million for contractor Deltera Contracting Inc to build free indoor and outdoor public viewing areas, four to five restaurants, a spa, and multiple event venues, while maintaining the historic character of the building.
