Betty White, who charmed viewers around the world for eight decades, passed away on December 31, 2021 at the age of 99.

To honour her memory and commemorate what would have been a milestone birthday, the Niagara Falls Illumination Board is turning the Falls bright white this evening.

Both the Canadian Horseshoe and American Falls will be illuminated, and visitors in the area will be able to see the special tribute to the television icon.
