Niagara's most trusted business networking community — connecting entrepreneurs and professionals since 1956.
The St. Catharines Business Club (SCBC) was founded in 1956 by a small group of local business operators who believed that meaningful relationships were the foundation of commercial success. Long before "networking" became a buzzword, these visionary entrepreneurs were gathering weekly to exchange ideas, share referrals, and support one another's growth. Today, that original spirit remains very much alive.
Over seven decades later, the SCBC continues to serve as the cornerstone of business networking in the Niagara region. Our membership represents a carefully curated cross-section of the local economy — from professional services and healthcare to real estate, construction, technology, and retail. What unites every member is a shared commitment: to give and receive quality referrals, and to help fellow members thrive.
The SCBC Connect platform is the digital home of the St. Catharines Business Club. It is designed to make membership more connected, transparent, and impactful. Through SCBC Connect, members can manage their professional profiles, track business referrals sent and received, RSVP to upcoming events, view the member directory, and check in at weekly meetings — all in one place.
The platform is built to reflect our values: trust, accountability, and genuine community. Whether you are a brand-new member or a founding-era veteran, SCBC Connect gives you the tools to make the most of your membership every single week.
SCBC Connect is built exclusively for active members and prospective applicants of the St. Catharines Business Club. If you are a local business owner, entrepreneur, or professional in the Niagara region looking to grow your network, generate qualified referrals, and be part of a trusted community, the SCBC is the place for you. Membership is by application and invitation, ensuring every member is a genuine contributor to the group.
SCBC Connect is developed and maintained by the executive team of the St. Catharines Business Club, with support from technology partners who share our commitment to serving the Niagara business community.
