So Much More Than Old Town
Niagara-on-the-Lake is historic Queen Street, The Shaw Festival, and Fort George, but that’s just a small portion of what makes our town so special.
Our Mission
A true community of neighbourhoods, Niagara-on-the-Lake is the sensational sum of its many diverse parts.
From Glendale’s fabulous shopping and exciting Niagara College and White Oaks energy, to the vineyards of St. Davids, the storied scenery of Queenston, and Virgil’s friendly farm vibe, every turn taken offers the opportunity to explore new places and feel the pride of place felt by those who call this special place home.
