Where Life & Community Connect!
The myNiagara Online Community Platform is a cooperative business initiative with a dedicated Shop Local focus.
Elevating the voices of local business owners and community groups is a mission we can all be part of. Together we can make a difference where we live, work, play and shop.
Who We Are:
We’re an online community of established businesses, start-ups, non-profit organizations, artists, farmers, clubs, special interest groups and other local contributors. Our goal is to build a thriving, connected community of Niagara by interactively sharing local community-sourced information
As community partners, we are committed to working together to collaboratively grow our common audience. We’re joiners, influencers, and big supporters of Niagara local culture.
We currently operate hyper-local online networks in the Town of Pelham ( myPelham.com ) and the City of Welland (myWelland.com ).
Platform Features:
Our Community Platform integrates web publishing and social media to share the daily happenings of our vibrant Niagara area from the point of view of locals with an inspiring and collaborative voice.
Our myNiagaraOnline.com, myPelham.com and myWelland.com websites and social channels (Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) are updated continuously with positive local stories that are contributed from across our Niagara Region.
Be sure to make myNiagara Online a regular stop to discover more about local places to go, things to do and the many incredible Community Builders and their initiatives happening in Niagara.
