An article posted by the Toronto Sun on March 20 shines the spotlight on “a new St. Catharines,” which has been transformed over the past few years from a community defined by manufacturing to one that is “dramatically diverse and built for this century.”
The article highlights several new additions to downtown St. Catharines as well as a vision for economic growth for the region, mentioning Niagara’s wine industry, as well as the craft brew industry “thanks to Niagara College offering the first brewing program in Canada.”
