This category contains sites that have an overall focus on all (or sometimes part) of Ontario's Niagara Region, which contains the counties/districts of Brant, Haldimand, Niagara, and Norfolk. The major portion of the Niagara Region is taken up by the Niagara Peninsula, which lies between Lake Erie on the south and Lake Ontario on the north, with the Niagara River forming its western border and the City of Hamilton its eastern one. In other terms, the Peninsula encompasses the Regional Municipality of Niagara, the City of Stoney Creek, and eastern part of the recently created Norfolk County. Note: The Localities categories linked to this Regions category contain sites that have a more localized association with it. On the whole, each of these sites is allocated to the municipality that contains its bricks and mortar address. In turn, the categories that contain these sites are broken down into subcategories as the sites start to exceed a manageable number. This subdivision is based on the existence of groups of sites that have an obviously -- or at least somewhat -- similar content.
