On January 18th, 2018, Mayor Walter Sendzik and Manager of Economic Development Brian York paid a visit to the newly renovated offices of Clickback in downtown St. Catharines.
The top floor of the former police headquarters has been completely re-born as a dynamic workspace for the St. Catharines based lead generation software company.
A Workplace Design Focused on Team Performance
From the open-concept layout, to the energy efficient LED lighting, key-fob access, the 6th floor of 110 James is a prime example of cross-generational workplace design. This approach has managed to attract top talent from around the area with an engaging environment and a focus on company culture.
“The modern workspace and amenity-rich office was a big incentive when I made my decision to join Clickback. Being part of a winning team right here in my hometown of St. Catharines is a dream come true” – Trevor Jones (Content Manager at Clickback)
The workplace design strategies at Clickback aim to increase productivity, while at the same time allow departments and teams to meet and communicate effectively. This team-based design encourages employees to come together regularly to discuss fresh ideas and innovations.

The Upcoming State of the City Address
At last year’s State of the City Address, Mayor Sendzik announced the purchase of 110 James, the old police services building by Clickback for their future offices and a Tech Accelerator.
The Mayor visited the Clickback headquarters back in April 2017, when the sale of 110 James took place, and has not had a chance to see all of the exciting changes that have unfolded since then until the lunch and meeting on January 18th, 2018.
Later this month, Mayor Sendzik will provide an update on developments in the city when he delivers his 4th State of the City Address. The event is hosted by the Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce and is open to the community.
The developments at Clickback and the future of technology and innovation in St. Catharines will be on the list of topics for this meeting.

We’ve got a homegrown business success who’s now laying down even further roots in the community to really be a part of the revitalization of downtown St. Catharines.” – Mayor Walter Sendzik from the St. Catharines Standard Article “Former police headquarters to be tech hub“
The groundwork for these exciting changes has started and Clickback’s CEO, Kyle Tkachuk, plans for turning the building into a Tech Hub for innovation has begun.
