Yesterday, our team joined Legislators Chris McKimmie, Jeff Elder, Sam Farruggia and Rick Abbott to celebrate the grand re-opening of the Hard Rock Cafe in downtown Niagara Falls!

Making the occasion even more memorable was a special appearance by Kiefer Sutherland, best known for his iconic roles in 24, The Lost Boys and Designated Survivor. It was a great way to celebrate another exciting milestone in downtown Niagara Falls!

Our team joined Senator Rob Ortt for a tour of the newly reopened Candlelight Curated in the City of Lockport. It’s great to see this important local employer back in operation, creating jobs and contributing to the continued growth of our local economy.
