Since 2007 the Niagara Workers Welcome has hosted annual events to

express appreciation and provide a warm welcome to our neighbours

working on local farms.

​

Although we have had to adapt and were unable to host large scale

events after Covid the support from locals has continued to grow! 

We continue to find creative ways to serve the needs of farm workers

struggling with isolation and food security.

In 2022 Niagara Workers Welcome raised over $9,000 to assist the

families of workers who passed away or suffered serious illness or injury

while in working Niagara on the Lake.

​

"On behalf of the Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce (GNCC) and our 1,500

members, I would like to offer my wholehearted support for Niagara Workers Welcome…

The picnic has made huge strides making these workers feel welcome in our community

and bridging cultural gaps. We want to see a Niagara that is not only economically

prosperous but inclusive and welcoming, and this event brings all of these goals together

in a way that is fun and celebratory. We are looking forward to this year’s picnic and

hope that there will be many more to come. "

Mishka Balsom, Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce

"...Through Jane's dedication and creativity, the Niagara Workers Welcome has become a successful "grassroots" effort that has resulted in growing appreciation and inclusion in the community. I fully support the continuation and expansion of the Workers Welcome based on the significant impact it has in the lives of the farm workers, and the unique positive light it puts on the town of Niagara on the Lake, by recognizing and welcoming the off-shore workers. "
