Port Colborne’s waterfront is an important part of the community’s identity and future. The City is working to revitalize the waterfront through strategic investment, thoughtful planning and new opportunities for recreation, tourism and development.
The City uses a planning framework, including design principles and sustainable land use concepts, to help coordinate waterfront improvements and guide future opportunities.
King Street and Sugarloaf Street Waterfront Area
The City is working toward the creation of a cultural, recreational and tourism hub in the area of King Street and Sugarloaf Street.
The Government of Canada has provided $750,000 in funding toward this project through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund.
Project updates can be found on this webpage and at any forthcoming public engagement events.
Wharf Rehabilitation
The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation is leading a $45.3-million wharf rehabilitation project along Port Colborne’s waterfront.
The Government of Canada has invested $22.7 million through the National Trade Corridors Fund to support the project. The work will bring three wharves on the west side of the Welland Canal and at the south end of King Street back into service to support trade and connect Ontario to global markets.
