Everybody can play!

As the “City where everybody can play”, St. Catharines welcomes feedback from everyone in our community as we update our Recreation Facility and Programming Plan. The Plan will help us continue providing the types of recreation services and spaces that people living, studying and working in St. Catharines are looking for. Your ideas will help us renew our collective vision for recreation in St. Catharines and establish priorities for the next 10 years.

Here are some of the ways for you to join the conversation:
