Ontario, Canada, with 97.11 square kilometres (37.5 sq mi) of land. It lies 51 kilometres (32 mi) south of Toronto across Lake Ontario and is 19 kilometres

Residents of St. Catharines are known as St. Catharinites.
St. Catharines carries the official nickname "The Garden City" due to its 1,000 acres (4 kmē) of meticulously groomed parks, gardens and trails. The City
is often colloquially and informally referred to as "St. Kitts".
Manufacturing is the city's dominant industry, as noted by the heraldic motto, "Industry and Liberality". General Motors operates two plants in the city
and until recently was the city's largest employer, an honour now held by the District School Board of Niagara. TRW operate a plant in the city, though in
recent years employment has shifted from heavy industry and manufacturing to services.
