Niagara This Week

Port Colborne residents have a chance to get involved with the city.

Residents can apply for positions on Heritage Port Colborne (Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee), the Port Colborne Historical and Marine Museum board and the Port Colborne Transit Advisory committee (an education representative and senior’s representative).

Applicants must be, unless otherwise stated: 18 or older, an eligible voter for the City of Port Colborne, not disqualified by the Municipal Act, Municipal Election Actor the Planning Act and must not be an employee of the city or the board.
