Interesting facts...<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>* Short Hills Provincial Park - Ontario's first provincial park, it is located in the Southwest portion of the city along the Niagara Escarpment. * St. Catharines is an ageing city as almost 1 in 5 individuals are of retirement age. As a result, the average age for the city is 40.3[2]. Also 1 in 5 inhabitants of St. Catharines are classified as foreign born as many immigrants from the United Kingdom, Italy, and Germany make the city their home. * Like most large Canadian centres, a number of social issues affect the city, and St. Catharines is no exception. Since 1998, St. Catharines has had the highest obesity rates of any centre in Canada. A 2001 analysis by Statistics Canada showed that 57.3 per cent of its residents were overweight.[1] This has caused some elements of the media, including CTV[1], the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation[2][3] and the Globe and Mail[4] to dub St. Catharines as Canada's "fattest" city. * There are currently talks to bring the Canadian Rowing Hall of Fame to St. Catharines sometime in the near future. * Brock is the only university in Canada to offer an Honours Bachelor of Science in Oenology and Viticulture. * The area became known to escaped slaves as a place of "refuge and rest", and cemented it as the final terminus on the Underground Railroad.</div>We also have the worlds oldest working carousel, and it's still only 5 cents a ride, same as when it first opened.
