About the Mayor
Mayor Walter Sendzik's Biography
COVID-19
The City of St. Catharines is taking COVID-19 seriously, and declared a State of Emergency on April 3, 2020. The City is making significant changes to services and programming to help protect health and well being of the community. Please visit www.stcatharines.ca/covid19 for the latest information.
To prevent further cases of COVID-19, continue to wash your hands, maintain physical distance and wear a mask. Please follow the health recommendations and guidelines from Niagara Region Public Health.
2021 State of the City
At the Mayor's 2021 State of the City address, Mayor Sendzik celebrated 'everyday heroes' throughout the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic recovery. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and the way we’ve seen our community step up and respond during the COVID-19 health crisis is just another shining example of how incredible the City of St. Catharines is.
Together with the St. Catharines economic development team, Mayor Sendzik inducted five businesses into the Team STC Hall of Fame for their contributions in the community and abroad. Learn more about the 2021 Team STC Inductees.
Mayor's Poetry Challenge
Mayor Sendzik has launched his annual Mayor's Poetry Challenge, inviting St. Catharines residents to submit an original poem, based on the theme "Our Community Heroes".
All types of poetry will be accepted – from Shakespearean sonnets to a vivid picture told through the simplicity of a few words in a Haiku.
Poems should be sent to poetry@stcatharines.ca by April 30 to be considered. The winning poet will be highlighted on the mayor’s social media channels.
Congratulations to Shelley Locke, winner of the 2020 Mayor’s Poetry Contest with her submission of 'Hope Floated. You can view her poem here.
The Mayor’s Poetry Challenge takes place during National Poetry Month in April, which began in 1998 by the League of Canadian Poets to celebrate and appreciate poetry.
The Compassionate City
Compassionatestc.ca is a platform to learn what a compassionate city is about, how you can get involved and learn about the services and resources available in the Compassionate City Guide. Please share your ideas to help make St. Catharines a more engaged and compassionate community.
At the Mayor's 2018 State of the City, Mayor Sendzik invited the community to join him in signing the Compassionate STC Charter - a commitment to making our city a more compassionate and prosperous community by taking personal action and working together. The community is invited to sign the charter online at www.compassionatestc.ca.
