About St. Catharines, Ontario

St. Catharines further has a thriving economy. This is attributed partially due to its development history. The building of the Welland Canal set the city as a major commercial hub. The canal passes directly through the city, with 4 locks situated within the city boundaries. Today, manufacturing continues to be the primary industry. General Motors, until recently, was the main employer of many the city’s residents. Yet, manufacturing continues to play a big role in employment and development opportunities in the area. St. Catharines also has a wide telecommunications industry. In part, this is due to its proximity to the U.S.A-Canada border. Brock University was established in 1964. As a result, the city comes alive during the school months between September and April. The school also boasts about its cool-climate and wine research - which has established it as a major educational facility for future vineyard and wine specialists. Residents in St. Catharines enjoy many annual festivals and events. These include:

• The Folk Arts Festival
• The Art of Peace Festival
