Heritage Corridor Walks

Aug. 05, 2010 ~ Sep. 05, 2010 (current)

explore the UNIQUE HISTORY of Downtown St. Catharines

Downtown Heritage Walking Tour

     Take a stroll through Downtown St. Catharines, home to some of the most historical buildings in the region. Let our tour guides transport you back to when it was all just beginning, before two way traffic construction, before paved roads, when St. Catharines was not much more then a tavern, a hotel and some small shops. Learn about the building where in a dark corner, the concept for the Welland Canal was born, a concept that would forever change the landscape and economy of our city. Find out about how pigs aided in the discovery of natural salt springs running through our downtown, making it a world class health destination for jet setters from all over North America.

     On the 5th of April - September at 7pm, join us on a Heritage Walk of the Downtown Core where these stories, and many more, which detail how our city became what it is today, are told in a 90 minute, easy paced walk through the downtown core. 

      Tickets are $8.00 per person and group bookings and private tours are available.

      Tours are limited to 20 people and fill up quickly so be sure to book your reservation soon.

      Advance tickets and can be arranged by calling (905) 685-8424 or e-mail elizabeth@stcathdowntown.com.
