Welcome to City Hall. Your municipal government is the level of government that affects your daily life more than any other — even if it may not always be evident. With a 13-member council and more than 400 staff, the City of Welland researches, develops, and implements policies, procedures, and by-laws governing city services, activities, and programs. From parks and playgrounds to budgets, roads and sidewalks to water, your municipality — through elected officials and seasonal, part-, and full-time staff — works with you to create the community you are proud to call home.
