Niagara Falls Review and Niagara Gazette Named Official Canadian and American Media Sponsors for Commemorative Anniversaries
LEWISTON, NY/QUEENSTON, ON – Today the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission (NFBC) announced that the Niagara Falls Review and Niagara Gazette have been named as official media sponsors for upcoming Niagara Falls Bridge Commission 75th Anniversary and Lewiston-Queenston Bridge 50th Anniversary commemorative activity.
“The Review and Gazette really function as our hometown newspapers here in Niagara Falls on both respective sides of the border,” said NFBC Chairperson Thomas G. Pryce. “This sponsorship was a great way to get them involved in our celebration and it also provides an opportunity to work through each outlet in connecting with local audiences regarding all that is planned.”

About the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission:
A Joint Resolution of the 1938 U.S. Congressional Third Session created the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission. The Extra Provincial Corporations Act of the Province of Ontario, Canada licenses the NFBC. Canada and the U.S. are equally represented on the NFBC by an eight-member Board of Commissioners. Initially established to finance, construct and operate the Rainbow Bridge, the Commission proved sufficiently efficient and effective to assume responsibilities for the Whirlpool Rapids (Lower) and Lewiston-Queenston Bridges. The NFBC builds and maintains all facilities for Customs and Immigration functions on both sides of the international border. The NFBC is self-supportive, largely through user fees (tolls) and private-sector tenant leases. NFBC is federally chartered to conduct international commercial financial transactions and issue federal (U.S.) tax-exempt bonds.
