About Welland

Welland is a city of 56,000 people (2021) in the Niagara Region of Ontario Canada. The city is centred on the Old Welland Canal which splits the city into a Northwestern section and a Southeastern section. The Eastern section is primarily older, having been the original settlement for the diggers of the Welland Canal. As the town grew it expanded Northwest and is now almost completely urbanized in this area.
