The BWC is an all-volunteer, citizen-driven team with the goal of getting our community to work together towards improving areas around Port Dalhousie.
Port Dalhousie has a unique character that is enhanced by its natural surroundings and by the people that live here.
It is the general consensus of the committee that certain areas within Port Dalhousie could be improved upon.
The BWC is not looking for “cheap, fast fixes”, Our goal is to ensure quality workmanship that reflects the style and character of the unique past, present, and future of Port Dalhousie.
The BWC believes in team work, community participation, and inclusive membership.
The BWC was birthed from the idea that a private citizen group of volunteers can work together to achieve positive results that benefit the City of St. Catharines and its waterfront jewel. Building positive relationships throughout our community, and gaining their support. Meaningful change can and will happen.
