When moving to a huge city such as Vancouver, InterNations made it easy for me to find fellow expats and the network that I needed.
Living in St Catharines
St Catharines is a vibrant and friendly Canadian city, situated some 32 miles south of Ontario and 12 miles from the United States border. The Welland Canal, part of the St Lawrence Seaway, is a feature of St Catharines, allowing oceangoing vessels to pass through the city. Shipping may be observed from the viewing platform at Lock 3, which is part of the St Catharines Museum. Montebello Park, with its commemorative rose gardens and bandstand, is just one of the city parks which, together with recreational trails cover some 55 miles around the city, and are ideal for walking and cycling in the summer and cross country skiing in the winter. As such, St Catharines truly deserves the nickname of "the Garden City".

Moving to St Catharines
The St Catharines Niagara District Airport is situated to the east of the city in neighboring Niagara-on-the-Lake; however, for scheduled, commercial flights nearby international airports in Ontario and the United States will need to be used. Two major freeways cross the city, and AMTRAK and Via Rail link St Catharines with Toronto and New York City, whilst Greyhound and Coach Canada buses operate from St Catharines. The local bus service and automobiles are the main means of city transport. Relocation to a new country can often be stressful and isolating, but as an InterNations member, any expat moving to St Catharines can forge new business and social contacts in the area by using the forums and private communication services on the InterNations website.
