Does Niagara Region have 'too many politicians'? Premier Ford backs review of their governance model, as chair hints amalgamation could happen still this spring

Under Gale’s four-city concept, Lincoln, West Lincoln, Grimsby, Pelham and Wainfleet would form one municipality; Welland, Thorold and Port Colborne another; Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Fort Erie a third; while St. Catharines would remain a standalone city. The alternative would see all 12 municipalities amalgamated into one.
