Niagara-on-the-Lake, one of Canada's most historic and picturesque towns, boasts a rich heritage dating back to its establishment as a settlement for United Empire Loyalists in 1781 and underwent significant reconstruction after the War of 1812 when it served as the first capital of Upper Canada in 1792.
With approximately 19,000 permanent residents, the Town attracts millions of visitors annually, drawn to its unique charm, historic landmarks such as Fort George and Brock's Monument, and renowned cultural elements like the Shaw Festival Theatre.
Modern attractions, such as the Niagara Outlet Mall, Canada's largest open-air outlet shopping center, also play a significant role in the Town's appeal.

Strategically located with access to a thriving economy and major transportation routes, including the Welland Canal, regional airport, and nearby border crossings, Niagara-on-the-Lake remains a vibrant and desirable destination for residents and visitors alike.
