St. Catharines, Ontario

The attractive city of St. Catharines, which is located in Ontario's Niagara Region, benefits from being close to Lakes Ontario and Erie as well as from the shelter the Niagara Escarpment provides. As a result, the city experiences a warm microclimate even in the winter.

St. Catharines is warmer than other places in Ontario, but the city is still rather chilly in the dead of winter. Although temperatures are mild early and late in the season, the average daily high in November is 8.4 degrees Celsius (47.1 degrees Fahrenheit), and the average daily high in March is 7.4 degrees Celsius (45.3 degrees Fahrenheit), which is pretty warm. It has many popular attractions, including Lakeside Park Beach, St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre at Lock 3, Salem Chapel British Methodist Episcopal Church, making it well worth a visit.
