The Niagara Falls Illumination Board said Monday it will be paying tribute to the Queen by lighting up both the Canadian and American falls. The colour chosen for the illumination is inspired by the blue found in all the viceregal flags of Canada, according to the release by Niagara Parks. "Niagara Falls will join landmarks across Canada, such as the Senate of Canada Building and Peace Tower, in a coordinated illumination to create a powerful nationwide visual tribute to Her Majesty the Queen," Niagara Parks said.
