The Project Bench team spent the last several weeks capturing photos and videos of Canada's largest wine region -- the Niagara Benchlands (link is to the official tourism website). And today I'm excited to share that we've launched our own new placemaking website called On the Bench.
The purpose of the site is to help celebrate the region. There's also some very preliminary information about Project Bench. In our humble opinion, we don't feel that the Benchlands region receives the attention that it clearly deserves. More people are familiar with Niagara-on-the-Lake and Niagara Falls, especially globally.
The Bench is a distinct area, with its own unique character and with more -- and arguably better -- wineries. This v1 website is the start of us working to demonstrate this. So if you're a local business or community member that would like to collaborate with us on this overall initiative, we'd love to hear from you.
