Port Colborne is a city in Ontario located along the north shore of Lake Erie within the Niagara Region. The city’s development has long been closely connected to the Welland Canal, which allows ships to travel between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie while bypassing Niagara Falls.
The canal runs directly through the city and remains one of its defining features. Port Colborne historically served as an industrial and shipping centre where maritime transport played an important role in the local economy.
Today the city includes waterfront parks, marinas and residential neighbourhoods that highlight its connection to Lake Erie and the Welland Canal.
