Port Colborne is a city on Lake Erie, at the southern end of the Welland Canal, in the Niagara Region of southern Ontario, Canada. Come #PORTicipate with us!
From its beautiful beaches, prime fishing, and booming cruise ship industry to its lovely shops, great food, local brews, and historic charm – Port Colborne has it all!
Grateful to Mayor Bill Steele for showing me some of the best of small-town tourism on Niagara’s south coast.
It was a joy to learn more about Port Colborne’s past at the Historical and Marine Museum, as well as check out the stacks and infrastructure upgrades underway at the Port Colborne Public Library.
Both the museum and library are pillars of the local community.
