Located in Niagara Region, Welland is situated right in the middle of the Niagara Peninsula, in southern Ontario, Canada. We're surrounded by two Great Lakes (Erie and Ontario) and miles of canals and waterways, so beach life and boating are excellent. The escarpment and more than 44 parks provide challenging biking, hiking, skiing and in-line skating trails. Spectacular Niagara Falls and its big white water river separate us from the U.S. We're 30 minutes from Buffalo, 90 minutes from Toronto, 40 minutes from Hamilton and 15 minutes to Niagara Falls and St. Catharines.

Welland boasts pleasant and neatly kept tree-lined residential neighbourhoods. There are a variety of living choices for any desired living style in Welland ranging from bachelor apartments to high-rises, bungalows and semi-detached houses, as well as senior' complexes. Welland also boasts a low crime rate, making residential living in the City safer than in larger metropolitan centres. Whether it's fishing at Chippawa Park, picnicking on the canal bank, kicking the ball around at Welland's indoor soccer field, or watching championship rowing and canoeing regattas on the Welland Recreational Waterway, there's always something to do, watch or play. Welland has outstanding sports and leisure facilities available at a fraction of the costs charged by larger cities.

Life after work is important to Wellanders. Parks dotted with beautiful flowers and trees sprawl across more than 300 acres of rolling landscape in the Rose City, not including the recreational lands alongside the canals. Top-notch accessible ballparks, ice rinks and cycle paths are located throughout our neighbourhoods. Duffers and pro golfers are surrounded by one of the highest concentrations of golf courses and country clubs in Canada.

The Niagara Region's grape growers and their internationally known wines are toasted during the famous week long Niagara Grape and Wine Festival, in nearby St. Catharines.
