About St. Catharines
It is a shame that St. Catharines is overlooked by most tourists visitingNiagara FallsandNiagara-on-the-Lakeas it has a lot to offer. St. Catharines offers better value and quality for food and accommodation than the nearby tourist destinations which are only 10-20 minutes away. Manufacturing is the city's dominant industry, as noted by the motto, "Industry and Liberality". General Motors of Canada, the Canadian subsidiary of General Motors, used to be the city's largest employer, a distinction now held by the District School Board of Niagara. St. Catharines lies on one of the main telecommunications backbones between Canada and the United States, and as a result a number of call centres operate in the city. The city was settled by United Empire Loyalists fleeing the American Revolution i
