The municipal election sparked a lot of discussion on how to improve our community. For generations, volunteering has been the surest way to ensure your time and money go straight to the causes in your community.

If you are looking for a way to contribute, or want to be of service to a good cause, or need time out of the house, or need to boost your resume, or want to make friends or any of the other dozens of reasons people's lives are improved by volunteering, head to the YMCA on November 7th from 1pm to 3pm and talk to all the organizations active in Welland.

It might turn out to be a lifelong endeavor that will be rewarding for you and help our community as well.

I’m considering moving from around Seaway Mall toward Dain City but I’m still quite new to Welland and don’t know anywhere but the area I live in. I was wondering, is Dain city noisy because of the trains out that way? Is it a nice area to live? Any pros/cons you can think of would be appreciated.

There was a lot of hate and vitriol in this election — more so than Welland has ever seen

just curious if anyone knows why rose city recovery closed so suddenly? from what i’ve heard from people who worked closely with them, it seems like this was a really unexpected

I voted at the Wellspring church it looked like a long line but they only have half the church set up so the tables are close to the door. I was standing on the stairs when I arrived and still voted quickly. They have lots of people working.

He seemed to have pretty agreeable perspectives. But as a person? Anyone know him or have anything to say?

Thanks so much!

You need to hold both of them accountable and research their credentials. I’m new to the city but holy moly have I not heard anything good about these two.

Best guy in the league to vote for

Went to Burger King and got 4 kids meals and all were this hello kitty. My daughter really wants some of the other ones that come in the mystery pack. This might be niche but is someone willing to trade for any other ones?

There used to be a couple of record stores in the seaway mall, could anybody tell me what they were called? Cd plus, and Sam the record man that became something else. Appreciate any help

Is there any pub or restaurant in the area serving a good scotch egg? Welland. Niagara on the lake. St Catherine’s. Anywhere?

Avoid at all costs rn

Prayers for everyone involved

ANYONE ELSE FORGET TO SHUT OFF THEIR CAB AIR GOING INTO THIS TUNNEL EVERYDAY? Absolutely f***ing disgusting. Either driving into town or leaving. If I forget, it’s 10 minutes of me cursing. Simply horrible.

Okay. Pretty clear at this point he’s not going to win as mayor, but seriously… what is wrong with him? Multi millionaire, but lives on Dorothy street. Used to be a ‘CEO’ but left that to become an owner of a carpet steam cleaning company, doesn’t seem to understand what municipal politics are and today, said the city of Welland is all just a money laundering scheme.

Somebody has to know an earlier version of this guy.

Hi! Looking for recommendations for a hair stylist, specifically for colour. Does not need to be directly in Welland, though that would be a sweet little bonus. Willing to go anywhere from Welland to Hamilton, but local would be nice to find!
I have attached picture’s of the vibes I’d like to go for. I am brunette with straight, shoulder (just past) length, undyed hair (hasn’t been dyed for 2+ years). I want a good and affordable stylist. I am alright with a in home stylist.

I am very curious what the people in this ward think of Tony Dimarco. He's caused a lot of drama and cost the city a lot of money with his antics.

I am mechanic been doing it for 17 years. Just looking for some side jobs. Can do pretty much anything that needs to be done can supply parts or you can have your own supply. Doesn't matter to me. I can get the job done. Either way let me know or DM me if you would like any work done on your vehicles

A few weeks ago we found announcement posters for the 4th Welland witches night market all over Instagram and Facebook. It was supposed to be tonight from 5 - 10 at Club Richelieu on River road. We all went in full witches attire, but there was nothing.

We ran the event through search engines and AI, and every site confirmed tonight from 5 - 10. Nowhere was an announcement that the market had been cancelled or moved to a different location.

Does anyone know what happened?

The annual lights, frights and sights halloween house tour is just starting up. If you didn't manage to get your house submitted there's always next year.

At first she showed up every few days, now she hasn’t left our porch. She loves cuddles and scratches and I’d like to reunite her with her people. Yes the cat distribution system is real but this isn’t one of those, sadly. She’s hanging out on Green Meadow.

Heard it twice tonight, first time I heard it I ran out to the main Street bridge but didn't see anything, on the way home 2 cruisers showed up across the canal from where I was. Heard it again just a few minutes ago but only a short yelp.
