Prof Adam Weaver explores the unbuilt history of Niagara Falls"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>When tourists flock to the “Honeymoon Capital of the World,” their attention is typically focused on its iconic waterfalls, towering hotels and \u00a0bustling entertainment districts – but \u00a0for NC Tourism Professor Dr. Adam Weaver, some of the most fascinating aspects of his hometown lie in what cannot be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Weaver shines a spotlight on the “never built” history of Niagara Falls in an academic article to be featured in <em>Tourism Recreation Researc<\/em>h.<\/p>\n<p>In “Presence, absence, and constative alignment: unbuilt visitor attractions in Niagara Falls, Ontario,” he highlights proposed visitor attractions that did not materialize.<\/p>\n<p>“Unbuilt attractions represent paths not taken. In recent years, I have tried to shift my writing to Niagara-based tourism in hospitality topics,” said Weaver, who has authored 35 academic articles and 12 book chapters. “Tourism and hospitality in the Niagara region has received scholarly attention but the volume of work that is out there in academic articles and edited books is relatively small compared to the significance and reputation of Niagara.”<\/p>\n<p>One example Weaver has pointed out is Maharishi Veda Land – an expansive, fully climate controlled theme park once proposed for the Lyons Creek area. Championed by well-known Canadian magician Doug Henning, the park’s business plan featured an elaborate conveyor system, and ride designs that, according to Weaver, “probably still defy modern engineering.”<\/p>\n<p>Another unrealized project, Weaver noted, was a proposed Titanic-themed museum. In his research, Weaver used a conceptual drawing of the museum provided by St. Catharines-based designer Lex Parker while leaning on the expertise of Kaitlin Laslo – a local history librarian at the Niagara Falls Public Library.<\/p>\n<p>Projects like these ultimately failed for a variety of reasons – like a business plan that became unviable due to economic or political shifts, or a failure to secure suitable land. In the case of Maharishi Veda Land, Weaver noted, the proposal’s fantasy elements were simply not grounded in practical development reality.<\/p>\n<p>Weaver said that successful tourism development relies on “constitutive alignment” – that\u00a0 \u00a0various circumstances and variables must come together for an attraction to actually be built.<\/p>\n<p>Weaver’s exploration of the unbuilt landscape directly informs his teaching at NC. During field trips to Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake, Weaver frequently points out what is missing just as much as what is present – drawing attention to sites like the perpetually incomplete hotel parking garage at the intersection of Stanley Avenue and Dunn Street.<\/p>\n<p>“Students are often familiar with visitor attractions hotels and transportation infrastructure that have been built. Students are curious to hear about what could have been and what never came to pass,” he said. “They naturally then ask, ‘well what happened? Why was a certain attraction never built?’<\/p>\n<p>“Talking about places never build draws students into the conversation and gets them interested in talking about tourism destinations more broadly.”<\/p>\n<p>Weaver’s latest article pairs well with another he recently published about the promotion of the Niagara region to geo-tourists – a path the region is actively taking in contrast to the abandoned paths of unbuilt theme parks.<\/p>\n<p>As a resident of the North End of Niagara Falls, Weaver noted that his scholarly appreciation for unbuilt attractions only goes so far when it comes to his own daily life.<\/p>\n<p>“Similar to many folks. I probably only venture down to the tourism district when desperately trying to think of ways to entertain out-of-town visitors,” he said. “Thankfully, there are attractions – actually in existing ones – present which enable me to occupy these visitors when they come to town. Sometimes built attractions help you out in ways that unbuilt attractions simply cannot match!”<\/p>\n<p>View Weaver’s article:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/02508281.2026.2725944\">www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/02508281.2026.2725944<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When tourists flock to the “Honeymoon Capital of the World,” their attention is typically focused on its iconic waterfalls, towering hotels and \u00a0bustling entertainment districts – but \u00a0for NC Tourism Professor Dr. Adam Weaver, some of the most fascinating aspects of his hometown lie in what cannot be seen.

it! Carpentry students frame “Three Sisters” installation in NOTL"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Students from NC’s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/trades\/program\/carpentry-renovation-technician\/\">Carpentry and Renovation Technician<\/a> program took their skills into the fields of Niagara-on-the-Lake to build the foundation for a permanent, large scale community art initiative.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, October 13, fifth-term students worked alongside professional carpenters and engineers to install the structural framing for “the Three Sisters” an inaugural piece of the “Thanks for the Meal” heritage project. The installation is located in a field just west of The Hare Wine Co. on the eastern side of Niagara Stone Road.<\/p>\n<p>Led by neuroscientist, psychologist and artist Ron Clavier, the project is designed to honour the diverse cultural communities that have shaped Niagara’s agricultural landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Artwork for the project was created by indigenous artists Raymond Skye of the Tuscarora Nation, and Shayde Sandy of the Cayuga Nation, portraying the Haudenosaunee legend of corn, beans, and squash traditionally grown together. The figures depict indigenous women working the land in pre-colonial clothing, with the tallest structure to rise 16 feet from the ground.<\/p>\n<p>To bring the large structures to life, Professor Craig Brown condensed two weeks of labs into a six-hour build day on site. Students split into three groups to tackle the non-standard framing needed for each structure. They installed large six-by-six posts and custom diagonal wind braces to support the unique shapes of the extending artwork panels.<\/p>\n<p>“This gives students \u00a0an opportunity to actually spend some real time in the field working on a community project … with the responsibility to install something in its entirety, correctly,” said Brown.<\/p>\n<p>Brown noted that the custom nature of the artwork provided a departure from standard 16-inch on-center framing, giving students a unique large scale structural challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Professor and Lab Instructor Nick Fraraccio – who led the College team on the ground, alongside volunteer Professors Karleigh Roberts and Lucas Brancalion – highlighted the practical skills the students honed during the build.<\/p>\n<p>“With the guidance of all instructors and professors involved, the students were able to assemble the project by reading the blueprint and cut list,” said Fraraccio. “It’s reinforced their skills of measuring accurately, cutting accurately, and most importantly, installing the pieces as per blueprint, accurately and professionally.”<\/p>\n<p>Fraraccio noted that the cohort worked exceptionally well together, remaining fully engaged and insisting one another to successfully complete the framing as a team.<\/p>\n<p>Participating students embraced the opportunity to gain experience in the field on a real-world community project.<\/p>\n<p>Kena Oruchalu, a second-year student who followed his passion for carpentry to NC all the way from Nigeria, valued the chance to get out into the community and found immense satisfaction in building something permanent.<\/p>\n<p>“I enjoy the experience of working outside, and it’s preparing me for when I finally get a job after completing school,” he said. “I’ve been craving a moment like this, where we get to come to the site, build it, and see a structure that we’re not going to take down.”<\/p>\n<p>“It’s a totally different experience than being in the classroom,” said Boyi Ma, an international student from China. “Here, students actually use what we learn in class on an actual job site. I’m learning a lot of skills in a practical way.”<\/p>\n<p>For Clavier, the College’s involvement provided crucial structural support while offering students an intercultural and inter-generational professional experience.<\/p>\n<p>“I and my team have been thoroughly delighted with NC’s appreciation of the project’s potential and its almost immediate offer to help in as many ways as possible,” said Clavier. “The most significant help to our project is NC’s offer to provide professional grade work experience to its students.”<\/p>\n<p>The Carpentry students are scheduled to return to the site in early November to mount the final printed murals onto the newly completed structures.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:

Niagara College Teaching Brewery’s NC Craft Bitter stood out and was awarded Gold amongst blind-tasted 1,900 submissions,” said Hilary Hoogsteen, Canada Beer Competition Director. “This is an exceptional accomplishment and demonstrates the level of attention to detail in their program.”<\/p>\n<p>“This incredible achievement is a testament to the hands-on, world-class education our students receive at the Teaching Brewery,” said Gary Torraville, Senior Director, Enterprises. “Winning gold on a national stage demonstrates that NC truly prepares our Brewmaster students to lead, innovate and set the standard for excellence in the craft beer industry.”<\/p>\n<p>NC Craft Bitter is among the Teaching Brewery’s most popular student-made beers. To date, it has won 20 medals – six gold, nine silver and five bronze. While its medal count is tied with Beer 101 Strong, NC Craft Bitter stands out with more gold medals than any other beer in the program’s history.<\/p>\n<p>Initially launched as Butler’s Bitter, which was introduced in 2012 to mark the bicentennial of the War of 1812, the English Pale Ale (4.4% ABV) was later released as Beer 101 Bitter – part of the Teaching Brewery’s flagship brand – while remaining available in bottles under its original name. In May 2026, it took on the NC Craft label as part of an epic rebranding that unified College products from the Teaching Winery, Teaching Brewery and Teaching Distillery.<\/p>\n<p>Brewmaster Professor Jon Downing noted that the award-winning batch was brewed by both the current third-semester class of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/winebeerspirits\/program\/brewmaster-brewery-operations\/\">Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management<\/a> students, and the latest class of 2026 program graduates. He attributed the brew’s ongoing success to the high and consistent quality of education of the student brewers, the expertise of Teaching Brewery staff, and the original recipe brewed 14 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>“It is fantastic for the efforts of our students and brewing team to be recognized on the national stage,” said Downing. “The medal emphasizes the quality of the student experience, showing that what they are brewing and learning is up with the best in Canada.”<\/p>\n<p>Daily operations at the Teaching Brewery are led by Head Brewer Ian Morrison and Lead Brewer Adam Marshall, who are both graduates of the Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management program.<\/p>\n<p>“The credit definitely has to be shared with our teachers and mentors as alumni of the program. And, of course, we are happy to share that win with the students of the Brewmaster program who we are now privileged enough to be involved with leading and training,” said Marshall. “But, most importantly, we hope the customers continue to enjoy our beers, and we can continue to bring people together over a pint.”<\/p>\n<p>For second-year Brewmaster student Blake Hunt, the program’s draw was its focus on hands-on experience and creativity. Now she is celebrating alongside her instructors as the Bitter she and her classmates helped brew has brought home national gold.<\/p>\n<p>“As a Brewmaster student, I feel honoured and elated to be a part of such a great accomplishment,” said Hunt. “We really come together as a community and work towards a better industry. It is always incredible getting to be a part of the brewing process and create products for others to enjoy.”<\/p>\n<p>NC Craft Bitter is regularly produced and available for purchase alongside student-crafted products from NC’s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/winebeerspirits\/\">School of Wine Beer and Spirits<\/a>, at the NC Craft Beverage Centre (Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake) and online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccraft.ca\/\">nccraft.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Operated by the Canadian Craft Brewers Association, the prestigious Canada Beer Cup is Canada’s largest and only national not-for-profit craft beer competition, celebrating independently owned and operated breweries across Canada. It showcases quality and innovation in craft beer from coast to coast to coast. Winners of the 2026 Canada Beer Cup were announced in Calgary on October 8.<\/p>\n<p><em>The NC Teaching Brewery became Canada’s first teaching brewery when it opened in 2010-2011 as a living laboratory for students in NC’s trailblazing <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/winebeerspirits\/program\/brewmaster-brewery-operations\/\"><em>Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management<\/em><\/a><em> program.
