The FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre (PAC) is located in downtown St. Catharines, Ontario at the corner of St. Paul and Carlisle Streets on the shared traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Neutral Peoples and many other Indigenous People from across Turtle Island.
This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreement. We offer our sincere gratitude and respect to the original and continued stewards of this land and are reminded that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous Peoples.
We also acknowledge Indigenous, Black, other Racialized Communities and 2SLGBTQQIA+ People who have been marginalized for centuries and more — and our collective responsibility to take action for a better world free from oppression, discrimination, and racism.
The arts belong here. And so do you.
Message from our CEO
At the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre, community is at the heart of everything we do. It shapes our stages, inspires our programming, and connects us through shared experiences that are uniquely powerful and deeply human.
As we look ahead to our 26/27 season, we are proud to further celebrate the extraordinary talent that exists right here in Niagara. This season places a renewed emphasis on showcasing local artists alongside acclaimed national and international performers — creating space for homegrown voices to shine, and for our community to see itself reflected on our stages.
We believe that a thriving arts centre is one where artists and audiences grow together. By investing in local talent, we are strengthening our creative ecosystem, fostering opportunity, and ensuring that the PAC continues to be a place where stories are told with authenticity, relevance, and heart.
Your support — whether through attending performances, becoming a member, or championing the arts in your own networks — plays a vital role in making this possible. Together, we are building a vibrant, inclusive cultural hub that belongs to all of us.
Thank you for being part of our community. We look forward to welcoming you this season!
