The Port Colborne City Council met on March 10, 2026, in Port Colborne, Ontario, to discuss several initiatives aimed at improving local healthcare and encouraging new property development. These decisions are part of the city’s effort to manage growth and ensure that residents have access to necessary services.

Council members reviewed a healthcare analysis report prepared for the city by KPMG. This study looked at the current state of local medical services to help city leaders plan for future needs in the community.

The meeting also focused on providing tax grants to help fix up and develop local properties. These agreements include a project at 395 Elm Street and a development plan by Canal Breeze Inc. for land located on Welland and Fraser Streets.

Mayor W. Steele also shared updates on ongoing conversations regarding how different local governments in the Niagara Region work together. Before the public portion of the meeting, the council held a private session to discuss legal advice regarding how the city council is organized under provincial laws.
