"On behalf of the Council and residents of Niagara-on-the-Lake, I would like to welcome you to the First Capital of Upper Canada. Niagara-on-the-Lake is a community rich in history, dating back to the late 1700s. Numerous sites and monuments erected to protect and honour the early settlers still stand today to remind us of the hardships these people endured to carve out the life they searched for in this new territory.

As you walk along our streets, the warmth and charm of our community greet visitors with open arms. Our main street holds many shops ready to help you to purchase that very special item as a keepsake of your visit. We offer museums, theatre and the finest in dining. Our agricultural industry is one of the finest in the Niagara Peninsula, from award winning wineries to the best produce ever tasted.

It is hoped your visit is both memorable and pleasant. We are truly proud of Niagara-on-the-Lake and are delighted to share our treasure with you."

Gary Burroughs,

Lord Mayor, Niagara-on-the-Lake
