NIAGARA FALLS, ON -  The City of Niagara Falls is introducing a new visitor screening and sign‑in process at City Hall, effective Wednesday, April 8, 2026, to support a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for all residents, businesses, and visitors.

These procedures, in place during regular operating hours (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), are designed to streamline the visitor experience while enhancing building security.

What Visitors Can Expect
