The City of St. Catharines is encouraging more people to check out local businesses.
In order to support local establishments during the pandemic, City council has unanimously voted in support of converting downtown streets into pedestrian malls.
From May 21st until October 9th, restaurants and stores can expand their patio spaces, and pedestrians will have the ability to walk freely through the streets.
Closures will take place on St. Paul Street from William to Carlisle and from Bond to Court Street between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
