our communities
Five communities. Our rural countryside. One Niagara-on-the-Lake.
old town
Protect a living community, not simply a tourism destination. Old Town is the historic heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake and one of the reasons people travel from around the world to visit our community. But first and foremost, people live here. Protecting Old Town means balancing tourism and heritage with the needs of year-round residents. Priorities for Old Town Protecting heritage and neighbourhood character Seniors' housing and aging in place Protecting important community spaces The future of the Royal Canadian Legion Supporting responsible horse-and-carriage operations Strong horse-welfare and road-safety standards Tourism management Traffic and parking Short-term rental concerns Infrastructure and drainage Walkability and pedestrian safety Supporting local businesses Karen's Commitment Old Town should remain somewhere people can live, work, raise families, grow older and belong, not simply somewhere others come to visit.

virgil
Build a complete community where growth improves everyday life. Virgil has become one of Niagara-on-the-Lake's most important residential, commercial and family centres.

Priorities for Virgil Responsible residential growth Roads and intersection safety Infrastructure capacity Flooding and drainage Parks and recreation Walkability and pedestrian connections Supporting local businesses Family and community amenities Protecting nearby agricultural lands Managing traffic created by new development Karen's Commitment Growth should leave existing and future residents with a stronger community, not simply a larger one.

st. davids
Infrastructure must keep pace with growth. St. Davids has experienced significant development while residents continue to raise concerns about flooding, drainage, traffic and infrastructure. Those concerns cannot be treated as separate from development decisions. Before continuing to add pressure to an area, we need to understand whether the infrastructure supporting it is working. Priorities for St. Davids Flooding prevention Stormwater management Drainage Water and wastewater capacity Responsible development Traffic and intersection safety Road infrastructure Protecting village character Escarpment and environmental protection Considering the cumulative impact of development Karen's Commitment Residents should not be expected to absorb the consequences when development moves faster than infrastructure.
