Eco-Ninjas Training

03/20/2026

Like many kids growing up in Western 80's society, Karate was King, we were Karate Kids, and it was this man, The Man, Chuck Norris who was top of the Mountain (Honorary shout out to Mr. Miyagi)
Bruce Lee was like a super natural Jeet Kune Do Ninja figure to me as a kid, but Chuck Norris was a badass beat down Karate ass kicker.
I admired and looked up to both Men as martial Artists. (Honorary shout out to Bolo Yeung who was the most terrifying martial Artist to me as a kid, and still scares me as an adult haha)
Yet it was Chuck Norris who seemed more real and attainable to me as a kid, especially with the amount of Karate dojos around at the time.
So the 1st martial art I studied was Karate. The studying, training and tournaments from those times taught me a lot that became core fundamentals to how I still train and live today.
Watching Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee fight scene in The Way of the Dragon was EPIC! It also helped teach me that you can take on the mythical super natural so to speak, and even if you lose, the fight itself is what created both to be as good as they were. You don't get to those levels without intense discipline and the respect to fighting for it.
Much respect to a fu**in LEGEND who helped forge part of who I am today as a Man, Martial Artist and Coach.
RIP Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris didn't die, time couldn't keep up with him.

The Grim Reaper said "I couldn't kill Chuck Norris, so I gave him my job"

When Chuck Norris met God, God asked "How did I do?"

Dropped off and awaiting council meeting.
It's in the Niagara Falls History Museum hands now, they will decide if they will accept our Eco-Ninjas donation of the Paddle and Fur Hat from The Portage, complete with Portage Colage, including our Eco-Ninjas environmental award from Portage Road aka Eco-Ninjas Way lol.
If they don't accept this historical art piece, it will be auctioned off at a later date.

New signs for an Old Portage Road aka Eco-Ninjas Way.
Eco-Ninjas stand the test of time, and keep moving onward (Portaging lol)
Through the seasons and over the years, people have come, people have gone. Lives and memories faded like the weather beaten signs from the Falls mist, and Exposed to other elements, yet still we remain.
When you Adopt a Road or Park the city asks you to take care of it at least 3x a year for at least 5yrs, and will give you all the resources to do so ie gloves, bags, signs, vests, etc.
We have been taking care of this part of Portage road (roads, we have 2 in the city of NiagaraFalls) at least once a month if not more, for over 12yrs and counting, and we bring our own gear.
I hate picking up other people's trash, but I love our community. Picking up trash is a form of peace for me. It has always been an easy way to find peace by connecting with nature, remembering where we came from and honoring our Ancestors.
I don't do this for clout, money, awards or other. I do this cause it brings me peace.
I show others with these posts on this page to hopeful inspire at least 1 other. And considering how many Eco-Ninjas we have helped create all across Canada and the World...I'd say the signs of Eco-Ninjas are strong as f**k lol.

To Niagara Falls City Council

Hello members of council and those in attendance. My name is Michael John Henley, and I am here on behalf of The Eco-Ninjas with 5 proposals for our Portage Road adopted road of 12 years. These proposals will add to the beautification and adventurous spirit of our community in Niagara Falls, and at no time, no dime to the towns people tax payers in it's creation.
The Eco-Ninjas Easter Eggs Adventure

Proposal 1.
Bunnie Brandt memorial rock "Easter Egg" garden at the North corner of Portage Rd, aka Eco-Ninjas Way.
Bunnie Brandt was an original Eco-Ninja, but more important she was a true Niagara Falls patron who loved this community, volunteered various events, and supported all it's Artists. We the Eco-Ninjas want to honor her with a metal sign in the silhouette of a Bunny Rabbit to be placed in the rock garden with various Easter Egg rocks, of various colors, from various people, from various places.

Proposal 2.
A Mural painted by various local Niagara Artists, and added "Hand Prints" from anyone and everyone, locals to tourists alike.
Running North to South parallel along Portage Rd aka Eco-Ninjas Way, there is a 100 meter long concrete wall. That giant blank wall is a canavas in the minds of Artists who pass by it, and should be contributed to by them, and others from all over the World with hand prints. The wall has already been, and will continue to be spray painted or "tagged". So I propose we not only allow, but make it awesome and let everyone contribute to it in good taste, if even a hand print.

Proposal 3.
Eco-Ninjas Easter Eggs Adventure through the secret Artist garden.
In the middle of Portage Rd on the East side, is a pay parking lot, with access to a road going down the Escarpment to the pay parking lot by Power Plant/Tesla museum. You should utilize the pay parking lots by giving the tourists and locals another awesome place to adventure. Allow Eco-Ninjas and other Artists to fill that access road with Eclectic Art and Easter Eggs. As well as Solar lights. Niagara Falls has the Festival of Lights and I propose we add to it with the Eco-Ninjas Easter Eggs Adventure through the secret Artists Garden.

Proposal 4.
Darlene Collver memorial garden at the South end corner of Portage Rd aka Eco-Ninjas Way and McLeod Rd.
It is in Darlenes honor we the Eco-Ninjas even exist, and have grown. A garden in her name is a beautiful and symbolic way to show and share how we The Eco-Ninjas started, and where we grow.

Proposal 5.
"Welcome to Niagara Falls" sign
At the South end corner of Portage Rd aka Eco-Ninjas Way and McLeod Rd there should be a Big "Welcome to Niagara Falls" sign.
Along Portage Rd, at the South end is a "Welcome to Niagara Falls Historical Village of Chippawa. Home Town of James Cameron". It makes sense the other end coming into Niagara Falls have a big "Welcome to Niagara Falls" sign. The sign would be easy to access for tourists to take pictures, and also part of the Eco-Ninjas Easter Eggs Adventure.

The Eco-Ninjas story started over 12 years ago here in Niagara Falls. 2 people picking up garbage in our community to honor the passing of Darlene Collver, Mother to Kris Collver aka The KaC Himself. A member of the Niagara Falls Artist Wall of Fame, Kris Collver and his friend, a fellow Niagara Falls Artist Mikey Henley, grew the Eco-Ninjas from just the 2 of them, to over a hundred people of all ages joining. In 2014 The Eco-Ninjas were given the Niagara Region Environmental Award, presented by Mayor Jim Diodati. Since then we have gone on to adopt other roads, and take care of the environment in communities across not just Canada, but other Countries as well.
We the Eco-Ninjas want to share our love for Arts and the Environment with all, but also make all a part of the story. Pick your favorite color...that's what color Eco-Ninja you are now. I'm the Yellow Eco-Ninja (fate choose that one).

Thank you for your time, and hearing me out with these amazing proposals. I look forward to any choice you make, cause then we will know. Either way I will always be an Eco-Ninja.
Sincerely
Michael John Henley aka The Yellow Eco-Ninja
