Welland's Central Fire Station will have an exciting opportunity to participate in the Canada-wide Historic Places Days event, July 10th to 17th, run by the National Trust of Canada, the same organization that recently ran the NEXT GREAT SAVE national contest.

The Central Fire Station will be advertised on the Historic Places Days national website and social media, as a historic place to visit.

There will be a cash contest for visitors to take a selfie, post on Instagram and facebook, and tag and follow the Central Fire Station and National Trust.  The national exposure and prestige for Welland will be immense.
