get to know us so we've put together the following
information for you so you may know a little bit more about what we're all about
and why we're here. If have any questions for us at all we encourage you to

When was AroundNiagara.ca born?
AroundNiagara.ca was originally conceived and created in February of 2002 with a
simple mission: gather together links to websites of local businesses and
organizations in the Niagara region, categorize them and post them on the web as
a quick and easy jump point for local residents. We also added to the home page
an integrated Google search and links to useful websites that people could
use everyday. The original site was very basic and limited in function yet was
still frequented by thousands of residents in the Niagara region each month.
How has AroundNiagara.ca changed?
In October of 2005 the new AroundNiagara.ca was launched and takes our original
concept a big step further. Now anyone in the Niagara region of Ontario can
add a listing to AroundNiagara.ca through our fully
automated website which is tied to a comprehensive backend database. Each listing
in our database represents a business or organization in Niagara detailing important
information such as phone numbers and physical addresses, website and email
addresses, and more.
How does AroundNiagara.ca benefit me?
Whether you are a resident of Niagara or a visitor from across the globe our website
is 100% free for you to use. You can browse for contact information for a business,
a website address of a local organization, search for a restaurant for a nice
evening out or, if you have a local business or belong to a local of organization
you can
add your listing FREE!
Also, from our homepage
we still have our integrated Google search, to allow you to quickly search the
entire world wide web for the information you need, as well as some useful links
to other websites such as local movie showtimes and local traffic cams.
