Niagara Fractional Ownership

Welcome to Niagarafractionals ca also known as Niagara Fractionals

A Brief History of the Falls Information below graciously provided courtesy of Niagara Parks Ice Age History of the Niagara River and Whirlpool Rapids The Niagara River, as is the entire Great Lakes Basin of which the river is an integral part, is a legacy of the last Ice Age. 18,000 years ago southern Ontario was covered by ice sheets 2-3 kilometers thick. As they advanced southward the ice sheets gouged out the basins of the Great Lakes. Then as they melted northward for the last time they released vast quantities of meltwater into these basins. Our water is "fossil water"; less than one percent of it is renewable on an annual basis, the rest leftover from the ice sheets. The Niagara Peninsula became free of the ice about 12,500 years ago. As the ice retreated northward, its meltwaters began to flow down through what became Lake Erie, the Niagara River and Lake Ontario, down to the St. Lawrence River, and, finally, down to the sea. There were originally 5 spillways from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Eventually these were reduced to one, the original Niagara Falls, at Queenston-Lewiston. From here the Falls began its steady erosion through the bedrock. However, about 10,500 years ago, through an interplay of geological effects including alternating retreats and re-advances of the ice, and rebounding of the land when released from the intense pressure of the ice (isostatic rebound), this process was interrupted. The glacial meltwaters were rerouted through northern Ontario, bypassing the southern route. For the next 5,000 years Lake Erie remained only half the size of today, the Niagara River was reduced to about 10% of its current flow, and a much-reduced Falls stalled in the area of the Niagara Glen. About 5,500 years ago the meltwaters were once again routed through southern Ontario, restoring the river and Falls to their full power. Then the Falls reached the Whirlpool. It was a brief and violent encounter, a geological moment lasting only weeks, maybe even only days. In this moment the Falls of the youthful Niagara River intersected an old riverbed, one that had been buried and sealed during the last Ice Age. The Falls turned into this buried gorge, tore out the glacial debris that filled it, and scoured the old river bottom clean. It was probably not a falls at all now but a huge, churning rapids. When it was all over it left behind a 90-degree turn in the river we know today as the Whirlpool, and North America's largest series of standing waves we know today as the Whirlpool Rapids. The Falls then re-established at about the area of the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge upriver to our right, and resumed carving its way through solid rock to its present location.

Timeshares Versus Fractionals; Naming by the Numbers - Ragatz Associates has held three annual Fractional Interest Symposiums, providing the first ever forums focusing solely on this industry. Ragatz Associates' upcoming fourth annual Fractional Interest Symposium will be held at The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, March 29-31, 2004. The intent of this document is to provide information to guide those who may be considering the operation of an air service by way of a fractional ownership program in Canada. This offers the ability to travel elsewhere for vacations, while still maintaining the fractional ownership of your own property. Many of the fractional developments are in high-end resort locations, where condominium or property ownership is priced at the high end. Again, the fractional owner has access to all the amenities in the resort area, while paying substantially less to get in.

There are a number of Cottage Fractional Ownership programs on the market right now, where you purchase a set number of weeks of cottage use per year and all maintenance/upkeep is looked after by a maintenance service. This is a very cost effective manner to enter the cottage market in the Muskoka Region. Not everybody, however, is laying out the welcome mat for fractional ownership. Terry Rees, executive director of the Federation of Ontario Cottagers' Associations, notes that several recent projects in the tony enclaves of Muskoka and Lake of Bays have run into opposition because they look more like urban condominiums than cottages.

The end result is that the cottage unit owners control the maintenance thereby avoiding the costly markups levied by management companies that contribute to dramatically higher maintenance costs.
