A great Niagara Corvette Club Cruise today down the historic Feeder Canal on Aug 8th
August 8th
We started with a history lesson with words provided by our own Craig Gemmel at the Welland Feeder Canal Junction Lock at the Dog Park just off Prince Charles Drive. Then on to The Marshville Chocolate Shop which was a BIG hit with almost everyone taking home a chocolate Corvette and other chocolate goodies.
Continuing down the 200 year old Feeder Canal route we stopped at the Stromness Feeder Canal Lock. The Stromness Feeder Canal, part of the larger Welland Canal, included locks that were crucial for navigating the elevation changes between Lake Erie and the Grand River. The Feeder Canal extended from Welland to Port Maitland, and the locks along this route allowed boats to traverse the canal and connect to the Grand River.
And then it was off to lunch following Niece Road on to North Shore Drive and then Lakeshore Road. A delicious lunch was served at The Garden Houzz and as we had all pre-ordered the food was delivered quickly.
Thanks to our air-conditioned Corvette’s the drive was great although it was a bit warm under the umbrella’s on the patio.

Ron Fellows Event
On Mon June 23, 2025, some members of the NCC attend our annual Ron Fellows driving experience at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
We have 18 driver spots for this event and always sell out.
This is hands down one of the most exciting events we do all year.
In all the years we have done this only one had rain. We didn’t have to worry about rain this time, just the extreme heat. It sure was a hot day and thankfully the cars have AC.
After some in class session with Ron Fellows himself, attendees got a chance to race the Corvette C8 Z06, Cadillac Blackwing and Corvette E-Ray. This was the first year there was not a Camaro.
At the end of track time, we were given hot laps by the instructors which let you see just what these car’s were really capable of. It also humbled you that you are not nearly as good as driver as you thought. They sure make it look easy and the skill they have is unbelievable.
The day was finished off with a very nice catered dinner in the Grand Prix Event Center.
A big thank you to the Fellow’s family Ron, Linda, and Patrick for a great day! Also, a big thank you to their drivers and staff for all they do.

Crown Vettes Show May 2025
A few NCC members made the trip to London on Saturday to spend the night at the Four Points Sheridan, have a great dinner at the Keg and attend the Crown Vette’s show hosted by Corvettes of Western Ontario.
VP Bob Sagon-King planned an excellent cross country scenic route so no QEW or 400 series highways were involved.
The show was well organized, getting us all off the street and parked quickly. There was lots of great food, a great bar, music, 50/50, silent auction, awards and it was all wrapped up and we were on our way before 2 pm.
Although it wasn’t hot, it was sunny and very little wind, so a perfect day to kick off the Corvette show season.
