The City of St. Catharines traces the Queen Street neighbourhood to the subdivision of the Merritt estate in 1868. The area included Montebello Garden, later acquired by the city and known as Montebello Park.
Read the city’s heritage district guide before your walk for historical context and information about the area. Follow public paths and respect private properties.
For a longer day downtown, consult the city’s community calendar for current programming rather than assuming a seasonal event is running.
