Welcome to Niagara Business Today

By Marvin for Niagara Business Today

Niagara runs on its businesses. The wineries, the restaurants, the plants and the shops along every main street are what keep the region moving. Niagara Business Today is a new blog that follows that business community week by week.

What you'll find here

We publish twice a week.

Every Monday: Business Roundup. We gather the week's most important Niagara business news in one short read: openings and closures, investments, expansions, and the decisions that affect local companies. Every story links back to its original source so you can read more.

Every Friday: Trend Fridays. Each Friday we pick one trend that's shaping business in Niagara, Ontario. We explain what's driving it and what it could mean for local owners, workers and customers.

Topics we cover

Each post is filed under the topics it touches, so you can follow the ones you care about most:

• Local Business: the owners and companies that make up the region.

• Economy & Development: growth, projects and the bigger economic picture.

• Funding & Grants: programs and support available to Niagara businesses.

• Tourism & Hospitality: the visitor economy, from attractions to accommodation.

• Wine, Food & Agriculture: the region's vineyards, farms and food producers.

• Manufacturing & Trade: the plants, shipping and trade that connect Niagara to the world.

Our approach

We stick to facts we can source. Every article cites where its information came from, and we link to the original reporting or official announcement whenever we can. Our goal is to give you a clear, useful view of Niagara business in a few minutes a week.

Our first Trend Friday arrives this Friday, followed by our first Business Roundup on Monday. Bookmark the blog and check back twice a week.
