The Garden City
The largest city in Ontario's Niagara Region, St. Catharines is known as "The Garden City" for its more than 1,000 acres of parks, gardens, and trails. It sits on the Niagara Escarpment between Lake Ontario and the Welland Canal, at the heart of Canada's foremost wine- and fruit-growing belt.
The Welland Canal — a marvel of marine engineering — carries ocean-going ships past the city, with Lock 3 and the St. Catharines Museum offering close-up views. Brock University, the Meridian Centre, the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre, and the historic Montebello Park with its celebrated rose garden anchor a lively cultural scene.
The Niagara Escarpment, the Bruce Trail, Short Hills Provincial Park, and the Twelve Mile Creek corridor surround the city with greenery, while Martindale Pond hosts the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta each summer.
A four-season lifestyle of wineries, waterfront, and trails, with quick access to Niagara Falls and the U.S. border. More affordable than the GTA, it has become a magnet for families and commuters seeking the Niagara quality of life.
