HEAVY HISTORY

July 29, 1974 is significant in both Canadian rock history and St. Catharines folklore. On Geddy Lee’s 21st birthday, Port Dalhousie resident Neil Peart joined the band Rush. St. Catharines' most popular beach is located right on the shores of Lake Ontario at Lakeside Park.  

33 years ago today (July 29, 1991), we got to hear the first sounds of the follow-up to METALLICA’s ...And Justice For All.
