Welland County Courthouse (Cross and East Main Streets) 

Designed in 1855 by kivas Tully, the Welland County Courthouse opened in 1856 

and was used to house the first Welland County Council meeting. Made of Queenston 

limestone, it is a must-see for architectural and historical enthusiasts. Take a stroll 

through judicial history and visit the Court House Museum on the second floor. 

Welland Historical Museum 

The Welland Museum is located in the historically-designated Carnegie Building, and 

features both permanent and changing exhibits that highlight the history of Welland 

and Pelham from pre-history to present. Offering a yearly schedule of special events 

and both educational and recreational programming, the museum also includes an 

interactive children’s gallery that allows younger visitors to experience hands-on play 

and discovery. Whether you are seeking a special gift or a souvenir, the gift shop 

contains affordable and unique handmade items from across the Niagara Region. After 

extensive renovations and improvements to the building, the Museum will re-open in 

May 2015. Please visit the website for more information at www.wellandmuseum.ca 

Welland Civic Square / Welland

Opened in 2005, Welland Civic square is an architectural delight. The 

Atrium and Art Wall showcase works by local artists and artisans. located

Central Fire Hall (Cor. Hellems & Division Sts.) 

The Central Fire Hall, completed in 1920, is a unique example of early twentieth 

century Edwardian Classical style designed by Walter W. laChance, while still 

incorporating the prominent features of the “old time” red brick fire stations 

of the late 1800’s. The most unusual elements of its design are its basilica plan, a 

rectangle with hexagonal ‘apse’ at either end and its siting at a 45 degree angle across 

the property. The building features a high brick drying tower fitted with a four faceted 

clock and a Greek acroterion, resembling old fashioned fire helmets, above each of 

the four dormers. (Pictured on page 10)

excellent location for sport fishing and flat water activities, including rowing, 

kayaking, canoeing or pedal boating. Rentals are available at the PenFinancial Credit 

union Flatwater Community Centre. For more information on rentals and hours of

Hiking and Cycling on Merritt Island 

Outdoor enthusiasts marvel at the beauty and serenity of Merritt Island. The island is 

a natural paradise and part of the Greater Niagara Circle Route, which offers a paved 

trail suitable for walking, bicycling, or in-line skating. Natural trails also run along the 

Welland River for those up to a challenging run or walk. Merritt Island is a place where 

you can connect with the outdoors, experience local art, or enjoy a packed lunch. 

Wood Carvings by J.P. Gauthier 

When visiting Merritt Island, keep your 

eyes open for local artist j.P. Gauthier’s 

wood carvings. These exquisite pieces of 

work blend into the natural environment 

and compliment the landscape. Gauthier’s 

art is compelling and establishes a mystical 

flow of nature across the island. Have fun 

discovering these beautiful works of art. 

The first settlement in the area dates back to 1788. In 

1829, it was known as Aqueduct - literally because a 

wooden aqueduct was built to carry the Welland Canal 

over the Welland River. In 2008, the City celebrated 

its 150th Anniversary as an incorporated municipality. 

Rod Dowling Sculpture Park 

The Rod Dowling sculpture Park is located along the canal near the Welland 

Community Wellness Complex. It currently features three sculptures by the famous 

Rod Dowling. These sculptures are named “listeners”, “The Aqueduct”, and “The 

knot” which all represent Welland’s shipping and industrial past. We hope to have 

more sculptures in years to come. 

Golf 

Welland is home to some of the most picturesque golf courses in southern Ontario, 

including the scottish link-style Hunter’s Pointe (905-714-4659). 

Welland Canal 

Memorial Monument 

located in Merritt Park, the fountain 

and bronze statues were created by 

world-renowned artist Bas DeGroot to 

commemorate the hard-working immigrants 

who helped to build the Welland Canal.

the large dogs. Enjoy a visit to the park with your furry family member. located at 

the corner of Prince Charles Drive and Ontario Road.

Memorial Rose Garden 

The joseph l. Moscan Memorial Rose 

Garden is the heart of Chippawa Park 

(located at First Avenue and Fitch street). 

The lush fragrance of Welland’s official 

rose is sure to delight any visitor. Paying 

the garden a visit is the perfect way to 

enjoy a picnic lunch and stroll along the 

breath-taking gardens. 


Farmers’ Market 

Welland Farmers’ Market symbolizes 

over 100 years of small town tradition 

with a homegrown flavour. vendors 

from across the area provide a range 

of produce reflecting Welland’s 

diverse ethnic roots. situated in 

the heart of downtown, the market 

operates saturdays year round from 

6:00am-12:00pm. Our market 

features a demonstration kitchen that 

serves breakfast during market day. 

Watch for special events listings and 

programs that also take place at the 

Welland market! For more information 

call 905 735-1700 ext. 4000 

Canoe Art Project 

The Welland Recreational Canal Corporation and 

the Welland Arts and Culture Advisory Committee 

partnered to create an artistic legacy; a unique 

initiative involving local artists creating works of 

art using traditional canoes as canvases. The canoes 

are mounted for display throughout Welland, 

displaying artwork inspired by Welland’s heritage, 

sporting history, and contemporary culture. 

Scuba Park 

located at the lincoln street docks, the scuba Park 

is a great way to enjoy the waterway from down 

under during the day and at night. The park features 

a submerged boat, a sunken car, as well as an 

underwater training area for adventure enthusiasts. 

The Welland Recreational Waterway is tested daily 

and is cleaner than a public pool, creating ideal 

conditions for underwater exploring. The Welland 

Recreational Canal scuba Park remains a popular 

spot and attracts hundreds of divers annually. 

Welland Crowland War Memorial 

located in beautiful Chippawa Park, The Cenotaph is 

unique because it departs from the usual design of a 

single soldier so common on other monuments from 

that vintage. Detailed and beautiful, the monument 

incorporates stylized elements of the Canadian 

landscape - red pine and wheat sheaves - along with 

the representation of a WWI trench mortar and two 

heroic figures. A soldier and a woman are featured to 

symbolize the “service and sacrifice” element of war. 

Dedicated not only to those who fought, but to those 

who supported the war effort at home. 

Cook’s Mills 

Peace Garden 

The Battle of Cook’s Mill was the last battle 

fought in Niagara during the War of 1812. 

The battle took place in 1814, and is the 

inspiration behind the newly constructed 

Peace Garden. Cherished by residents, visitors, 

and history enthusiasts; the garden 

is a reminder of 200 years of Peace. The 

Peace Garden is located at the corner of 

lyon’s Creek and Doan’s Ridge Roads.

Funding provided by the Government of Canada through h the Canada ada Job Grant Programs 

delivered by the Government of Ontario 

Canada-Ontario Job Grant (the Job Grant) provides an opportunity for employers 

to invest in their workforce, with help from the government. 

The Job Grant will provide direct financial support to individual employers who wish to purchase training 

for their employees. 

It will be available to small, medium and large businesses with a plan to deliver short-term training to 

existing and new employees, and will: 

· Provide up to $10,000 in government support per person for training costs. 

· Require employers to contribute one-third of the total costs. There will be additional flexibility 

for small businesses to provide an in-kind contribution towards their share of the costs. 

· Require training to be delivered by an eligible, third-party trainer. 

If you’re an employer with a particular skills demand, the Canada-Ontario Job Grant might be right 

for you. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis.
