Thank you to everyone who donated to Community Care's back to school campaign

City of Thorold staff would like to thank everyone who took the time to donate sneakers, backpacks, notebooks and pencil crayons to Community Care of St. Catharines and Thorold's #SnacksNSneakers back to school campaign. Together, we helped prepare children in our community to go #backtoschool on the right foot.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on August 9, 2022 to celebrate the unique cultural heritage of partner province Manitoba as part of the Niagara 2022 Canada Games 13 For 13 Festival

The purchase and donation of a bench includes a customized name plaque with inscription and maintenance of the bench for fifteen years

“We are happy to give residents an opportunity to memorialize their loved ones in the newly renovated Battle of Beaverdams Park. We look forward to seeing the park slowly fill up with benches that are meaningful and hold sentimental value to members of our Thorold community.” - Manoj Dilwaria, Chief Administrative Officer

Our Residential Rental Licensing (RRL) Program aims to keep properties in #ThoroldON well-maintained and safe

The RRL Program was established in 2018 to ensure a safe and healthy experience for all landlords and tenants involved in the property rental process in Thorold. 

We maintain an updated list of licensed properties on our website so residents can take comfort in knowing that a property has been inspected and is licensed. RRLs are valid for a period of two years from the date issued on the licence. 

Landlords and tenants in Thorold are encouraged to review more information on the RRL Program, including the list of currently licensed properties, on the Residential Rental Licensing section of our website.
