The state of emergency in the Niagara Region has concluded following the eclipse, which concluded 'without incident'.

Niagara Region has ended the state of emergency that was declared in preparation for Monday's total solar eclipse. The decision to declare the state of emergency was made as a precaution due to the large expected influx of visitors, with over 1 million people anticipated to visit the region for the event. Niagara Region, being in the path of totality for the eclipse, aimed to ensure readiness and coordination for this rare event.

The state of emergency enabled the region to coordinate efforts among numerous organizations, provincial ministries, agencies, and thousands of volunteers. With extensive collaboration and heightened public awareness, the region determined that the declaration had served its purpose and was no longer necessary.

Niagara Region expressed gratitude to the volunteers and staff who contributed to ensuring the health and safety of everyone during the eclipse. The declaration of emergency, under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, provides municipalities with the ability to seek support from provincial and federal governments to address significant threats or risks to individuals and property.
