The city of St. Catharines, in Niagara Region, is the sixth largest urban area in Ontario.

St. Catharines has a population of 136.8K people (2021 Census) or 31.5% of the total population of the Niagara Region. St. Catharines carries an official nickname of “The Garden City” due to its 1,000 acres of gardens, parks and trails.
History of St. Catharines
St. Catharines has a rich and fascinating history dating back to the 1600s. The town was initially settled by the Iroquois and Seneca tribes until 1782 when a large tract of land was ceded to the British Crown for the purpose of European settlement. The town continued to grow rapidly especially with the construction of the Welland Canal from 1824 to 1833 which established St. Catharines as the hub of commerce and industry for the Niagara Peninsula. In 1845, St. Catharines, with a population of 3,500, was incorporated as a town, with the town limits extended in 1854 and again in 1871, with the start of construction of the third Welland Canal.
With the end of the Second World War and the prevalence of the automobile, St. Catherines population exploded and the general standard of living also improved for many people. Today, St. Catharines has mostly shed its industrial manufacturing past and shifted towards services being the main driver of the economy. Further, the city is located on one of the primary communication backbone between the United States and Canada leading to the setup of multiple call centres.
Other important aspects of the history and culture of St. Catharines:
- Cultural festivals: Tourism is a growing sector of St. Catharines economy and as such, the city hosts a variety of cultural festivals each year including the Grape & Wine Festival, The Folk Art Festival, The Let It Glow – A Celebration of Light and many more.
- Education system: St. Catharines is home to Brock University, a public research university ranked at 1394 in the World, Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary, a post graduate institution of the Lutheran Church-Canada and a satellite campus of The Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine located on the main campus of Brock University.
Things to do in St. Catharines
There’s lots to do in St. Catharines and it’s usually a challenge to figure out exactly what we want to get done from the long list of amazing things to see and do in St. Catharines. Here’s what a typical day in St. Catharines looks like for a member of our team here at NetJOI.
- Early morning jog or cycle at Jaycee Gardens Park – absolutely beautiful park with gorgeous flowers, grass and trees. The Park is a true oasis in the middle of the city plus an opportunity to view ships lock in and out of the Welland Canal.
- After working up an appetite on the trial, grab breakfast at Rozie’s Cafe. We absolutely love this place for a great breakfast, serene atmosphere and great staff.
- After breakfast, time to immerse ourselves into the history of St. Catharines and a stop at the St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre at Lock 3 is a great place to learn more about the history and construction of the canals.
- Of course, a trip to St. Catharines is not done without a winery visit and Henry of Pelham Family Estate Winery or 13th Street Winery are just two of the great wineries located within the Niagara region.
- Finally, to close out the day, I would grab a late lunch / early dinner at Rise Above, an all vegan restuarant and bakery in downtown St. Catharines.
