Niagara’s future is on the ballot.

The Niagara Business Alliance is launching its 2026 Municipal Candidate Surveys, inviting every registered mayoral and councillor candidate across Niagara’s 12 municipalities to share their priorities and perspectives on the issues shaping our region.

From development to infrastructure, housing affordability and municipal spending, economic growth and regional cooperation, the decisions made by Niagara’s next municipal councils will have an impact for years to come.

As a non-partisan coalition representing Niagara’s business and housing communities, we believe voters deserve clear, accessible information about where candidates stand.

Candidate responses will be made publicly available before voting day, helping Niagara residents and the business community make informed decisions about the future of our communities and our region.

One region. Twelve municipalities. Ten Organizations. A shared interest in Niagara’s future.

📢Some important reminders about flood-related waste collection:
⚠️The final targeted waste collection day is Monday, Aug. 31. If you have flood-related waste requiring pickup, sign our registry before noon on Friday, Aug. 28 at https://www.stcatharines.ca/fire-and-emergency-services/emergency-preparedness/2026-flood-support-programs/
🗑️The disposal bins at Bill Burgoyne Arena remain open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. up to (and including) Saturday, Aug. 29. After that time the bins will be removed. At that time Niagara Region will also end the waiving of tipping fees at the Bridge Street and Humberstone landfills.
🗓️ Effective next week, regular waste collection resumes (with the exception of those who registered for targeted collection on Aug. 31). Visit https://niagararegion.ca/waste/ for information on disposal options.
🚫 With the end of enhanced waste collection, a reminder that illegal dumping is a crime and can result in fines. Learn more at https://niagararegion.ca/waste/contact/dumping/default.aspx
ℹ️ Finally - a reminder that waste collection crews collecting flood-related waste are not able to pickup items / debris wrapped in, or covered by, plastic or tarps. If flood-related waste at your property is covered and intended for collection, please remove the tarp or plastic. Materials need to be visible so crews can clearly identify what is set out for collection, work safely and collect waste as efficiently as possible.
📍 Please also ensure flood-related waste is placed within four feet of the roadway. If a ditch, culvert or other obstruction prevents this, contact the Niagara Region Waste Info-Line at 1-800-594-5542 for guidance.
