The team calls the Meridian Centre home, located in the heart of downtown St. Catherines. To come up with a team name, an online public contest was held. The name “River Lions” came from the Niagara Region's coat of arms, where the crest features a mythical beast, a River Lion. This creature symbolizes pride and strength within the community, which this team definitely lives up to. Naturally, the Niagara River Lions team wanted a fun, active mascot to engage fans at games and events.

This clinic caters to its clients through its exceptional service and extended hours of operation. Valley Day & Night Clinic is open 7 days a week until 10PM. This is great for their clients as it is very difficult for them to get medical attention during work and school hours. Valley Day & Night have been in business for 20 years, 10 of which they have been the proud recipient of the Reader’s Choice Award for best medical clinic. You’re probably thinking to yourself how great this clinic sounds. What if we told you they have a Doctor mascot?

People view mascots as a friendly and familiar face, not as a sales person trying to sell a service or product.   When your brand is mentioned, consumers who have interacted with your mascot will have a visual memory, and likely a very positive connection.
