St. Catharines Armoury
The St. Catharines Armoury is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. The building is currently used by the Canadian Armed Forces as a drill hall.

Natural lakes are generally found in mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas with ongoing glaciation.
