About Welland Weekly

Welland Weekly is an independent local newsletter covering the people, places, and stories that make Welland worth living in. Every week, we round up the news, events, food, and local goings-on you actually want to read about. The new restaurant on Niagara Street. The council decision that affects your street. The festival happening this weekend. The small business owner who's been here for thirty years and has a story worth telling. No filler, no wire copy, no recycled headlines from somewhere else. Just Welland.

We're two locals who think a city this good deserves better coverage than it's been getting. One of us lives in Welland and does the on-the-ground reporting, talking to business owners, showing up at events, walking the canal path looking for what's worth covering this week. The other runs the business and digital side. If you have a story tip, a business worth featuring, or just want to say hello, we read every reply. Welcome to the Weekly.
