St Catharines, otherwise known as The Garden City, rests north of Niagara falls, and on the southern end of the Golden Horseshoe economic zone. It stretches wide along the coast of Lake Ontario, with its own large body of water in the city called the Martindale Pond. It has a port, an island, and various parks that utilize this water space. More streams, including a straight-lined canal, run through the city to connect Lake Ontario to Lake Eyrie, making it a sort of border town between both bodies of water.

It has a stable, large town or small city population of roughly 133,000 people (as of 2016). Since the last census, the population growth has been very small, but not negative either. It's two largest population brackets are in the 20-30 and 50-60 years old range, and the most populous income bracket is $60-79k/yr.
