Our Board of Commissioners

The members of the Commission are responsible and accountable to the Government of Ontario, the sole shareholder of the Commission. There are four municipal appointees, representing the Regional Municipality of Niagara, the Town of Fort Erie, the City of Niagara Falls, and the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake.
