Welcome to Niagara Ina Grafton Gage Village (NIGGV)! Located in the north end of St. Catharines, Ontario, NIGGV sits on 15 acres of well-manicured grounds and is in close proximity to Lake Ontario. This not-for-profit, charitable, multi-level seniors’ complex is home to over 400 seniors who live either in life lease bungalows or apartments, rental or rent-geared-to-income apartments, or long-term care (nursing home). Several levels of care are provided for seniors. The Village is actually one of the largest providers of services for seniors in Ontario. As a member of OANHSS (Ontario Association of Non-Profit Homes and Services for Seniors) and ONPHA (Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association), both groups advocate for seniors and lobby the government on our behalf. NIGGV is dedicated to fostering quality of life for seniors by providing a wide range of services and meeting standards mandated by the MOHLTC
(Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care). We believe that customer service and
effective communication are essential for success. We are continually looking
at opportunities for growth and improvement. Come and explore what Niagara Ina Grafton Gage Village has to offer! Patrick O’Neill

NIGGV is a registered charitable corporation under the Corporations Act of Ontario. It was incorporated in 1958, without share capital and with the following purposes:
NIGGV is commonly referred to as the “Village”, but back in 1950 it was just a dream for the Niagara Presbytery Women’s Association who aspired to build a home for United Church seniors. With a $25 donation from the Elm Street United Church Women, the challenge to raise the needed funds got underway. Finally in 1957, a tract of land was purchased behind Grantham United Church on Linwell Road . On July 9, 1958 with great fanfare, the sod was turned, and on September 1, 1959 , the Ina Grafton Gage Home opened its doors. But how did Ina Grafton get its name? Interestingly, publisher and philanthropist Sir William Gage bequeathed $18,000 toward the project, and subsequently the home was named in memory of his wife, Ina, and his mother, whose maiden name was Grafton. From this humble beginning, the Village has grown to what it is today. In 1982, a 60 unit apartment building was erected. The largest expansion took place in 1992 when another 60 apartments, chapel, auditorium, shuffleboard courts, four 5-pin bowling lanes, billiard room, therapeutic/recreational swimming pool, lounges, atrium, and café were built. In 1994, an expansion included 103 life lease apartments and 47 life lease bungalows. Then in 2004, another nine life lease apartments were added. The life lease concept of housing allows a resident to purchase the right to occupy a particular unit without many of the responsibilities of ownership. July 2008 - September 2009 Niagara Ina Grafton Gage Village Celebrated 50 years! Niagara Ina Grafton Gage Village celebrated 50 years of service to seniors in St. Catharines between July 2008 and September 2009. The 50th Anniversary Committee organized a kick-off event on July 13, 2008; a 50th Anniversary Tea on February 26, 2009; a Wine & Cheese/Silent Auction on April 30, 2009; and a 50th Anniversary Dinner & Dance at Grantham Lions Club on September 18, 2009.

The maximum Corporate membership consists of twenty-four volunteer members, fourteen of whom are Directors and ten are Corporation members.

Our quality improvement projects, organization-wide monitoring, evaluating processes, and quarterly reports to the Board of Directors provide a mechanism to facilitate the success of our program.
