St. Catharines acts as home for Brock University, located in the Niagara Region. It is only 111kilometres away from Toronto and a mere 19 kilometers from Niagara Falls. Also known as “the Garden City”, St. Catharines has a bountiful amount of parks, gardens, and trails throughout the city, including Brock, highlighting the natural beauty of the area. Settled upon the Niagara Escarpment, St. Catharines is a site for the Welland Canal, bringing water vessels across the escarpment from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, or vice versa.

The city is a hub for many festivals and attractions, such as Niagara’s Grape and Wine Festival. The downtown core attracts various forms of art and culture from the performing arts center and events that go on. However, the city does not forget the historical events that shaped the city, including the War of 1812 and the Underground Railway. These attractions showcase the beauty of the area, the arts and culture within it, and the history behind it. No matter what brings you to St. Catharines, there is something for everyone here!
