"Niagara Region Declares State of Emergency for 2024 Solar Eclipse"

Ontario's Niagara Region has declared a state of emergency in preparation for the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8, which is expected to attract up to a million visitors to the area. The declaration aims to address potential challenges such as traffic congestion, increased demands on emergency services, and cell phone network overloads. The eclipse will be the first to touch the province since 1979, and Niagara Falls has been identified as one of the best places to view it.
