Welcome to our new website

We’ve redesigned niagararegion.ca to make it easier to find what you need. We’re still putting on the finishing touches, so over the next few weeks you may notice:

  • Search is still learning. Some results may be incomplete or out of date. Try browsing by topic from the main menu.
  • Some links may not work. Old bookmarks and links may lead to pages that have moved.
  • Pages are still being updated. We’re reviewing content across the site and improving it as we go.

BMA Municipal Study

Each year, BMA Management Consulting publishes an independent study comparing financial and socio-economic indicators across Ontario municipalities. The study gives residents and Council an outside perspective on how Niagara Region compares to other communities on taxes, household income, property values, water and sewer costs, and more.
