BUFFALO, N.Y.- Downtown Buffalo's newest attraction has been put on ice the last couple of days because of the warm temperatures.

Skating time at The Rink at Canalside was cancelled for both Wednesday and Thursday because the weather was too warm to maintain good ice conditions.

The rink is scheduled to re-open Friday from noon to 10 p.m. An estimated 6,000 people skated on the rink during the opening weekend.

Last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) launched a free Border Wait Time app that makes it easier for travelers to plan their trip across the border. Among its features, the app provides estimated wait times and open lane statuses at land ports of entry. This allows travelers to make better-informed decisions of the time and place they should cross the border. Wait times for pedestrian, passenger and commercial vehicle crossings are broken down by lane type (standard, SENTRI, NEXUS, FAST, Ready Lane, etc.). You can download the app from Apple’s App Store and Google Play.

Rotary District 7090—The Gift of Life, a humanitarian project of the Rotary Clubs of Western New York and Southern Ontario, is proud to announce that the three newest recipients of life-saving heart surgery—6-year-old Akeila (left) and 9-year-old Emmanuel (right) of Jamaica and 1-year-old Camila (center) of El Salvador—are recovering well and enjoying the holidays with their families. The local Gift of Life donated $10,000 raised from its Golf & Tennis Tournament in June and another $5,000 from the Niagara-on-the-Lake Rotary Club so the surgeries could be performed.
