\nNIGERIA:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canada’s Niagara region has proactively declared a state of emergency ahead of a rare total solar eclipse on April 8 that is expected to gather massive crowds to areas in and around the region’s popular waterfalls.<\/p>\n

The Niagara region said in a statement on Thursday that Regional Chair Jim Bradley had declared a state of emergency “out of an abundance of caution.”<\/p>\n

“Declaring a state of emergency … strengthens the tools the region has at its disposal to safeguard the health and safety of residents and visitors and protect our critical infrastructure in any scenario that might arise,” a Niagara region press release said.<\/p>\n

The dramatic waterfall, situated along the Canadian-U.S. border, is in the path of the eclipse, and many people are splurging on hotels and rentals in advance to experience the phenomenon at one of North America’s natural wonders.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0mayor of Ontario city of Niagara Falls\u00a0Jim Diodati predicted “by far the biggest crowd that we’ve ever had” on the Canadian side for the eclipse. Diodati estimated that up to a million people will be there, compared with the 14 million who typically visit during an entire year.<\/p>\n

The region will also be modifying some of its programs and services and closing some facilities to keep traffic off the roads on April 8.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
