Welland, Ontario is a city in the Niagara Region. It is often called the place where “the rails and water meet” in reference to the railways and rivers that characterize the city. Located between Niagara Falls and Buffalo, Welland serves as a middle ground in an important Canadian region.
Historically, Welland had a small Jewish community that settled in the Crowland neighbourhood. By 1917, a shul and mikvah had been established, enabling a small Jewish community to settle in the city. Today, Welland has a small Jewish community that is actively involved with the wider community.
We thank Welland City Council for proclaiming May 2023 as Jewish Heritage Month in the city.
