As part of the international exchange student orientation, we went on a trip to Niagara falls on January 28th with the Humber international office’s co-ordinating team. We left our residence at 8am and arrived at Niagara Falls Table rock which is a superb viewing point of the falls. The views were spectacular. We then went to the Sheraton where we ate lunch. The whole trip was complimentary of the college, and it allowed all of the International exchange students to have the chance to get to know each other better, and of course get to see some of Canada’s most famous spots, without the financial burden of trying to get there by ourselves. After lunch we were given a period of free time from 12.30pm to 3.30pm.
We took the free time opportunity to see what Niagara had to offer. I took the opportunity to taste some of the which Niagara is famous for, whereby they make wine from frozen grapes. There are over 120 independent wineries in Niagara, many of which make Riesling ice wine. I also got to see the many casinos that are in Niagara. I took the opportunity during the free time period to meet a friend of mine who I worked with at Camp Wayne for Boys in the Summer of 2022 as he is studying at the University of Niagara. Overall it was a great day and we were back at our residence at 5:45pm.
While I was at the Falls I learned many
interesting facts about it. For example, it is over twelve thousand years old
and is a result of glaciation. The region of Niagara is home to some 330,000
people. The Falls can be accessed from both the United States and Canada. The Falls are regarded as one of the World’s most beautiful attractions, and I
certainly enjoyed seeing them.
