Think of us as a combination of “Humans of New York” meets Sesame Street’s “People in Your Neighbourhood”. We’re here to showcase Niagara’s Model Citizens to the world.

Every week we will be running features like Music Mondays to show off local musicians, Thirsty Thursdays to show off our local watering holes and coffee shops, and we will even run contests where you can Nominate A Neighbour for doing a good deed.

We’re looking for artists, athletes, business owners, servers, neighbours, any one with a story that we can share.

Send us  a direct message via Instagram@modelcitizenniagara .

Thanks for reading and we look forward to your stories.

I’m Ron Harwood, a fairly new resident of Niagara Falls. I moved here in the Summer of 2019 and instantly fell in love with some of the restaurants and businesses that tourists didn’t seem to know about but the locals cherished.

I was honoured to be brought on as a photographer for @mainlyniagara last year and got to know more people and businesses and hear their stories of how they got started and how they were surviving the global pandemic of the last 2 years.

I decided to start this page to spotlight some of the people and businesses that I think are great and hopefully help promote them to the world outside of Niagara, as well as the local community that we live in.

I look forward to hearing from you and meeting more of the great people of the Niagara Region.
