St. Catharines Downtown Association supports and promotes a safe, friendly and vibrant community in which to Shop, Dine, Play, Work, Live and Explore.
On July 1, we recognize the Indigenous Peoples whose ties to this land continue today.

Downtown St. Catharines sits on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe & Haudenosaunee, under the Dish With One Spoon Wampum.

Let’s reflect, learn, and uplift Indigenous voices.

🏦 Step back to the 1960s at the corner of St. Paul and Queen Street, where the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) once stood proudly at 101 St. Paul. Built in 1912, this limestone landmark has watched Downtown St. Catharines evolve for over a century.
