Where the Ships
Climb the Mountain
To this day, each settlement brings to the City of Thorold its own unique flavour. St. John’s with its winding, hilly roads and beautiful conservation areas makes it one of the most picturesque locales in all of Canada. Beaverdams, the final destination of Laura Secord’s journey to warn the British of an impending American attack, is steeped in history and lore. Allanburg, the site of the sod turning for the building of the first of the four Welland Canals, is home to Thorold’s lift bridge. The quaint community of Port Robinson boasts the only pedestrian ferry service across the Canal. Turner’s Corners is home to many agricultural farms and vineyards and is the crossroads to many areas of the Niagara Region. Thorold South houses many of the industries that spur Thorold’s robust economy. And Thorold, with its numerous historical buildings, Flight Locks, accommodations and shopping district represents the authentic canal downtown area of the city. Together, these communities help to weave the fabric that is Thorold.
In addition to all that Thorold has to offer, visitors are only a short distance to the more than 70 wineries, 45 golf courses, hundreds of historic sites, world-class theatre, diverse shopping and dining, miles of parks and beaches and exhilarating entertainment and attractions that make up the Niagara Region.
