Welland is a city in Ontario located in the Niagara Region along the Welland Canal. The canal, which connects Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, runs directly through the city and has played a central role in its development.
Industrial facilities, shipping operations and transportation infrastructure associated with the canal helped establish Welland as a manufacturing and industrial centre during the twentieth century.
Today the city includes residential neighbourhoods, parks and waterways connected to the canal system while continuing to support regional industry and commerce.
