Who we are

At Nineside, we’re building more than a loca business and tourism platform — we’re building a movement. Born from a love for local culture, community spirit, and entrepreneurial energy, Nineside is a digital platform designed to amplify the stories, services, and experiences that make our cities worth exploring.

We believe every corner of the map holds something worth discovering — a café run by the same family for three generations, a boutique taking bold creative risks, or a trail that leads to your next unforgettable view. Nineside brings those places to life online. We spotlight small businesses, promote regional tourism, and help people find what’s nearby — and what’s worth the trip.

We’re proudly based in the Golden Horseshoe area of Ontario, and our mission starts right here — in the cities, towns, and communities that make up this vibrant region. From Burlington to Niagara Falls, Hamilton to Oakville, and every lakeside gem or small-town detour in between, we’re here to showcase the charm, diversity, and energy that make the Golden Horseshoe such a dynamic place to live, work, and explore.

That spirit lives on in Page Nine — our bold and unapologetically local blog. With travel guides, food finds, reviews, opinion pieces, news, and sports coverage, Page Nine dives deep into what’s happening around here, with real personality and zero fluff. It's where hot takes meet hometown pride.

A big part of the Nineside mission is also carried by Nineside News — our media division that brings stories to the forefront through @ninesidetv on Instagram and other platforms. From breaking headlines to rising talent, small-town festivals to big-league playoffs, we cover the news, culture, entertainment, and sports that matter most — both locally and globally.

We also fuel small business growth through Nineside Marketing, our in-house agency offering a full suite of digital services. From social media and web design to branding, content, and advertising, we help local brands get noticed and grow. Whether you're just starting out or scaling up, our team is here to support your journey.

With curated travel content, blog features, business listings, and a vibrant social presence, Nineside is your go-to guide for where to go, what to do, and who’s doing something incredible in your region. Whether you’re a business looking for exposure, a local rediscovering your backyard, or a traveler chasing new experiences — Nineside brings the community to your fingertips.

But we’re not just digital. We’re showing up — in real life. Through Neighbors, our growing social community, and boots-on-the-ground efforts like road trips, interviews, and event coverage, we’re creating spaces for real connection — right here in the Golden Horseshoe.

Our mission is simple: make local feel exciting again. Support small. Share stories. Travel better. And help people fall in love with where they are.

This isn’t just business. It’s a belief — that behind every small shop window or forest trail is something that can spark inspiration. And when we uplift local, we all rise.

If it’s local, it lives here.

That’s Nineside. Rooted in the Golden Horseshoe. Built for Ontario.
