2009 Pearce Family Reunion

The Pearce Family Reunion dates have been set! Save the date for July 17 to 19 - and bring your family to Niagara Falls for a weekend of fun and fellowship. We have chosen Great Wolf Lodge as our choice hotel, because of the wide range of in-house activities it offers for people of all ages, including Canada's largest indoor waterpark, and a world class Aveda Spa.

If you look back to older posts in this blog, you will see some important information about the requirements for crossing into Canada from the USA. Please note that the Niagara Region is very accessible from all points both on the Canadian and American sides. The basic agenda for the reunion is as follows:

Friday evening: Arrivals, Check ins, Meet and Greet (Fireworks at 10 p.m.)
Saturday: Breakfast - Sightseeing Tours (Wine Tours, The Falls Tourist District, Double Decker Bus Tours) OR stay and play at the Lodge.
Saturday Evening: Family Banquet (entertainment and other details TBA)
Sunday: A.M. Church service followed by brunch. (Free time/Family time - farewells)

Please pass the link to this site along to your family members who may not be familiar with it. If you plan to attend, you can post a note in the comments section of the blog, call 1-866-754-6169 or call Julie direct at 905-329-6169.

Thanks so much! I look forward to seeing you in July!

Crossing the Border into Canada - US Requirements

This came from cousin Tony Johnson- Please take note:


American citizens crossing the border into Canada by land or water need ID that proves two things: 1) Citizenship, and 2) Identity by way of a photo. A driver's license on its own or a Social Security Card on its own are not valid ID to cross the Canadian border.

Julie's additional comment: If you have a passport or a NEXXUS Card, that is your best bet.
