The City of St. Catharines is inviting residents to a community information session to provide a construction update for the Sunset Beach Renovation Project beginning this year.
With the community vision, extensive public engagement, and engineering designs now complete, the City is preparing to move forward with construction.
The community information session will provide residents with an overview of the project timelines and construction phasing plan. Construction is expected to have a significant impact throughout 2025 and 2026, and clear communication about timelines and construction activities will help minimize disruptions for the community.
Event Details
- Date: Tuesday, May 6, 2025
- Time: 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Hosted by Mayor Mat Siscoe and Ward 5 Councillors Dawn Dodge and Bill Phillips, the event will provide an overview of the renovation plans, which are guided by the 2019 Sunset Beach Community Vision Study.
Key components of the Sunset Beach Renovation Project include enhancements to the parking lot, upgrades to trails, picnic areas and other park amenities, the reconstruction of the boat ramp, the replacement of the playground structure, and the implementation of shoreline protection measures.
The project is supported by a $4.4 million grant from the Province of Ontario through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP), covering approximately 73 per cent of eligible costs. The City is contributing $1.6 million, bringing the total project budget to $6.9 million. Construction is slated to begin in late spring 2025, with completion targeted for Q2 2026.
Residents are encouraged to attend the Town Hall to stay informed and engaged with the developments at Sunset Beach.
