    Imagine Niagara

    This page has been intentionally left blank. Chapter 1 1 - 2 1. Imagine Niagara Physical and Economic Background The Regional Municipality of Niagara is located in Southern Ontario between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. It corresponds approximately to the area commonly referred to as the "Niagara Peninsula" and will be referred to here as simply "the Region". It is bounded on the east by the Niagara River and the State of New York, and on the west by the City of Hamilton and Haldimand County. The Region is at one end of the band of urban development around the western end of Lake Ontario. Chapter 1 1 - 3 The Region was formed in 1970 and includes all of the areas within the boundaries of the former Counties of Lincoln and Welland. There are twelve local municipalities within the Region; these were formed by the rearrangement and amalgamation of the twenty-six municipalities which existed before 1970. The Queen Elizabeth Way and other provincial highways place most of the Region within ninety minutes' travel time of Toronto. Hamilton-Wentworth, with a population of over 400,000, is about thirty minutes away from the centre of the Region. Four road and two rail bridges connect the Region to the western part of New York State. About 2,500,000 people live along the United States' side of the Niagara River. The developing industrial complex at Nanticoke, on the shore of Lake Erie to the southwest, is about an hour's travel time from the centre of the Region. Physical Characteristics The "Niagara Peninsula" area is not a true peninsula but is a narrow neck of land stretching between Lakes Erie and Ontario.
  • Niagara Agricultural Profile

    Niagara Agricultural Profile

    NIAGARA AGRICULTURE PROFILE INTRODUCTION Agriculture is a very important sector in Niagara both culturally and economically. Niagara has long been known as an agricultural powerhouse in Ontario, specifically for tender fruit and floriculture production. In recent years, the region continues to diversify and produce higher value agricultural outputs. As of 2016, Niagara was home to 1,827 farms covering 218,251 acres of farmland. Although from 2011 to 2016 the number of farms and farmland area decreased, average farms in Niagara increased in size to produce higher value farm products while continuing to diversify and access new market opportunities. During this same time period, the average farm size in Niagara increased by 7.2% from 111 acres to 119 acres, while gross farm receipt value per acre increased by 17.9% from $3,256 to $3,850. Niagara’s agricultural sector also represents a major portion of the value of gross farm receipts in the Golden Horseshoe region of southern Ontario and is becoming increasingly more significant. In 2016, gross farm receipts in Niagara totaled $838.1 million, which was a 15.5% increase over 2011. This represents 42.8% of the gross farm receipts in the Golden Horseshoe region. Niagara farms area also investing more in farm capital, which includes land, buildings, animals, equipment, machinery and technology. In 2016, average farm capital was $2,133,650, which was a 48.9% increase, or $700,863 more than 2011. Although the agricultural sector in Niagara is showing significant economic gains, there are some major challenges on the horizon. As of 2016, the average age of a farm operator in Niagara was 56 years and has been increasing consistently.

    NIAGARA ROCKS, BUILDING STONE, HISTORY and WINE Gerard V. Middleton, Nick Eyles, Nina Chapple, and Robert Watson American Geophysical Union and Geological Association of Canada Field Trip A3: Guidebook May 23, 2009 Cover: The Battle of Queenston Heights, 13 October, 1812 (Library and Archives Canada, C-000276). The cover engraving made in 1836, is based on a sketch by James Dennis (1796-1855) who was the senior British officer of the small force at Queenston when the Americans first landed. The war of 1812 between Great Britain and the United States offers several examples of the effects of geology and landscape on military strategy in Southern Ontario. In short, Canada’s survival hinged on keeping high ground in the face of invading American forces. The mouth of the Niagara Gorge was of strategic value during the war to both the British and Americans as it was the start of overland portages from the Niagara River southwards around Niagara Falls to Lake Erie. Whoever controlled this part of the Niagara River could dictate events along the entire Niagara Peninsula. With Britain distracted by the war against Napoleon in Europe, the Americans thought they could take Canada by a series of cross-border strikes aimed at Montreal, Kingston and the Niagara River. At Queenston Heights, the Niagara Escarpment is about 100 m high and looks north over the flat floor of glacial Lake Iroquois. To the east it commands a fine view over the Niagara Gorge and river. Queenston is a small community perched just below the crest of the escarpment on a small bench created by the outcrop of the Whirlpool Sandstone.
