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 Some results may be incomplete or out of date.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.

Community health profiles

Health in Niagara is shaped by where people live, grow, work and play. Our Niagara Priority Profiles provide information about specific populations and how these conditions shape their health and health equity. Use them to plan programs and activities that meet changing needs as the population changes.

People have many layers to their identity, and each person is unique. When planning projects, think about how to include people with different experiences.
