The second survey concluded on April 8, 2024.
Welcome to the City of St. Catharines Waterfront Access Master Plan engagement page.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with the City.
Your feedback will help the City further its insights on the reasons and ways people access the waterfront. It will also provide some information regarding improvements that can be made.
Background
The project study area includes the entire shoreline across the City of St. Catharines including the beaches, parks, trails and other access points along the waterfront. The City and Region have completed a number of studies and plans and these will be integrated into the City’s WAMP.
In 2021, the City implemented emergency shoreline protection resulting in the closure of stairs used by the public for access to the waterfront in the Abbey Mews area of Port Dalhousie. In addition, a number of existing staircases to access the water are reaching their end of life. The City has been reviewing implementing potential features that would reinstate public access to Lake Ontario and protect the shoreline. Changes to the waterfront access points will be necessary to continue providing safe and reliable access for residents and visitors across the entire waterfront.
The waterfront is for everyone and is an important public amenity. The WAMP will aim to ensure equitable access across the St. Catharines shoreline.
Get Involved
Throughout the study timeline, the City has requested input from the public through a survey and mapping activity, as well as a Public Information Centre where the preliminary findings from the survey and mapping activity were presented (link to video can be found below). As we enter the final stage of the study, the City would now like the public's input in regards to the draft priorities and improvements for each of the future waterfront access points.

The Waterfront Access Master Plan is limited to the waterfront along the Lake Ontario shoreline that is located within the urban boundary, and therefore does not include Martindale Pond/Twelve Mile Creek or its tributaries.
