Eligibility

To register your business in the directory, your business must be owned and operated within the City of Port Colborne. Businesses required to have a municipal business licence (see Business Permits & Licences) must obtain one before they can be registered in the directory.

Check your listing

Before registering your business, go back to the directory and search to see if your business listing already exists. To claim a listing in the directory and make changes to it, please contact economicdevelopment@portcolborne.ca.
