Welland is the place to be if you're looking for big city conveniences in a small town atmosphere. Whether residential, commercial or heavy industrial, land prices are very competitive and quite low when compared to other Ontario municipalities.
Of all the cities in the Niagara Peninsula perhaps Welland best represents the cultural mosaic that truly is Canada, a fact that is celebrated annually with its Folklore Festival, just one of many festivals the City hosts. With a high French-Canadian population, the City is also home to a significant Italian community and over the past 10 years, has become the port of call for immigrants from South America, Africa, Asia and Russia.
