Neighbourhood of the Year

Niagara-on-the-Lake is home to incredible neighbourhoods that bring people together through community spirit, creativity, and connection. This initiative celebrates the residents who help make Niagara-on-the-Lake a welcoming and vibrant place to live.

Nominate your neighbourhood by sharing what makes it special, whether it’s friendly neighbours, community pride, local traditions, or the ways residents come together to support one another.

The winning neighbourhood will receive a Town-supported community celebration in June as part of Parks and Recreation Month.

We can’t wait to hear your story!
