Born and raised there - left at the age of 33 back in 2008, and I've never moved back. St. Catharines is like the "Flint Michigan" of Canada: An economically depressed small city that used to be part of the auto manufacturing boom in that corner of the continent.
Now it's a commuter town, and there's hardly a good job to be found in the city. It's been a long time since there ever was such prosperity there.
I've only been back twice in 14 years, and both times it was enough to shock the homesickness out of me.

Your video has been very helpful. I am watching from Saskatchewan and looking to move to St Catharines in the coming months.

There's a drug and homeless issue in St Catharines? Didn't notice... Great video Andrew!!

[@rohanabrahamshine1198]

cool informative video

[@ryanz486]

Sadly the homeless and drug issue is something pretty much every city over 50,000 is dealing with now. I live closer to Port D. so you don't see it here, but pretty much whenever I ride down St Paul, I'll see people openly using and dealing.
I'd also list as a pro, the city is fairly compact in size. Despite it becoming more congested over the last couple of years, it's quite easy and quick to bike/walk to places.

I was born and raised in st catharines left 4 years ago to Edmonton alberta because I couldn't find work near by or couldn't afford a car to drive an hour to a job. I will never move back to st catharines or the niagara region only. Only way I would move back if I won the lottery and 30 minutes away from the city's on a farm land

I’m a Canadian registered nurse who’s been living & working in the USA for the past 27 years. I was thinking of returning to my home. I know I’ll find work as the nursing shortage is bad there. I’d like to live near or outside the city and work at the area hospitals. I have so many fond memories of drinking coffee in cafes & checking out the local bands etc. I actually used to live in Welland, but really preferred going to St. Cats & NOTL.
Great video!

[@livinginniagara]

Hi John! Thanks for checking out my channel. Your feedback is greatly appreciated! There's no question that you can find work in your field here. We share the Welland connection, as I lived there for almost 25 years! Please feel free to reach out anytime if you'd like to chat further about your possible move. Happy to help!! 🤙🏻

@@livinginniagara Hey man thanks! I’m getting very excited! I thought it would be difficult but I’m finding it’s going to be very easy. Bring a copy of my drivers abstract from the DMV down here, renew my Ontario driver’s license, open a bank account and get an apartment! It’s actually much easier than all the immigration hoops that I have had to negotiate down here. Plus the great added benefit of no longer having to pay exorbitant fees for healthcare insurance! I’m fortunately very healthy so that’s a huge plus. I’ll be driving home from Arizona, probably in the late spring so I have about 3 or 4 months to liquidate everything and prepare for the big move. So exciting!

[@livinginniagara]

@@ImTheBlade65 That's awesome John! Keep me posted on your journey, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything!

[@ImTheBlade65]

@@livinginniagara Thanks man, I really appreciate that. You’ll be a great information resource for me!
Chat again soon!

Nice video. Can't say that the downtown is a pro for St. Catharines. It still needs vast improvements, especially in residential dwellings, ground level retail, commercial rent, facades, etc.

[@livinginniagara]

I agree, downtown certainly has its challenges. It takes progressive property owners to spend money improving old buildings to create great places to attract businesses! It’s definitely a work in progress!

[@MindTravelsChannel]

@@livinginniagara At least Brock University, the theatre, and Meridian Centre have lifted the downtown significantly.

[@livinginniagara]

@@MindTravelsChannel 100%!!! Absolute game changers for the downtown core.
