About the City
St. Catharines, Ontario
St. Catharines is the largest city in the Niagara Region and the sixth-largest urban area in Ontario. The region has about 430,000 residents plus heavy year-round tourism from Niagara Falls (about 20 minutes south). The local economy is anchored by manufacturing, agriculture and wine production (the Niagara wine region produces most of Ontario's wine), tourism, and Brock University. The Niagara region has long been a retirement destination from across Ontario, contributing to a higher-than-average concentration of older adults with discretionary income for personal services. The closest specialized tattoo removal clinics are in Toronto or Buffalo - neither a short drive.
Who lives here
Largest city in the Niagara Region and centre of one of Canada's most-visited tourism corridors. Older median age than most cities on this list, but with strong inbound retiree migration and tourism-driven personal-services demand. Significant Italian-Canadian community.
Notable attractions
- Niagara Falls (~20 min south)
- Welland Canal and Lock 3 viewing centre
- Niagara wine region (50+ wineries)
- Brock University
- Port Dalhousie historic harbour
