Mayor’s Message Welcome to the City of St. Catharines 2018 Spring and Summer Leisure Guide. It’s festival season and time to enjoy our parks, trails and beautiful waterfront. I encourage you to get out, get active and see why St. Catharines was ranked as one of the 20 most active cities in Canada by travel website Expedia.

Through the Recreation Facility and Programming Master Plan and by working with community partners, we are making great progress on renewing our parks. The revitalized Lakeside Park has a new picnic pavilion, Rotary Bandshell, fully accessible playground, sun shelter and Mobi mats to access the beach. Across the city at West Park, you will find a brand new splash pad and accessible playground and washrooms. West Park also has new outdoor fitness equipment for parents and older adults to keep active. Rotary Park is the next to be upgraded – a great place to enjoy your lunch on a summer day. The City and community partners have also invested in Centennial Gardens, improving trails, picnic areas and adding a sun shelter .

There are many community festivals celebrating arts, culture and culinary delights. Starting this spring with In the Soil Arts Festival, the Niagara Folk Arts Festival, Niagara Vegfest, The Foster Festival, Canada Day celebrations, Rotary Ribfest, the Facer Street Heritage Festival and the annual Labour Day Parade, to name a few. The St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre is another great place to learn about our heritage and experience the new Welland Canal Fallen Workers Memorial – an extraordinary tribute to the 137 men who lost their lives building this marvel of engineering.

The Parks, Recreation and Culture Services team is always looking for innovative ways to help you live an active and healthy lifestyle. I look forward to seeing you out and about in our great city.

Regards,

Mayor Walter Sendzik

Arts & Culture Did you know?

On November 12, 2017 the Welland Canal Fallen Workers Memorial was unveiled, honouring 137 men who died while building the Fourth Welland Canal.

www.stcatharines.ca/Culture Artists and arts organizations are increasingly calling St. Catharines home - creating, exhibiting, showcasing and performing right here in our city. Their programs and services offer residents exciting opportunities to engage with original, local art. City programs are designed to maximize their work, celebrate their successes and develop accessible, meaningful art programming for residents and visitors.

Welland Canal Fallen Workers Memorial The City of St. Catharines welcomes a new addition to the Civic Art and Memorial Collection with the Welland Canal Fallen Workers Memorial. Designed by Dereck Revington Studio Inc., the memorial is on the Welland Canals Parkway just north of Lock 3. The $1.2 million project was funded by the City of St. Catharines, the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Niagara Region, and hundreds of corporate, labour union and individual donors. Descendants from across North America and beyond attended the unveiling ceremony in November 2017, which drew more than 600 people in total.

Emergency planning While there’s always the potential for an accident on the QEW to shut down the highway for hours, it’s unlikely to also affect residents in nearby homes.

However, it happened last summer when a transport truck carrying phosphine, a toxic chemical, rolled over on the

QEW near Martindale Road. The chemical was contained inside the truck, and while it posed no threat, residents living in the area were ordered to shelter in place (or stay inside) for several hours while crews removed the transport truck and its potentially dangerous cargo.

These types of emergencies and others can happen anywhere in the city, anytime and without warning. Protect yourself and your family by assembling a home emergency kit with these items: • Three-day supply of food and water for everyone in the home

• Cash (in case ATMs aren’t available)

• Battery or crank radio

• Change of clothes for each person

• First Aid kit • Flashlights (safer than candles) • Basic toiletries and nonprescription drugs

• Copies of important family records, documents and phone numbers

• List of medications • Basic tools • Blankets (for winter months) • Paper and pen • Playing cards (for fun)

How to stay informed during an emergency Being informed can be as important as being prepared.

During an emergency the City provides updates and information on these channels: Facebook www.facebook.com/CityOfStCatharines

Website - www.stcatharines.ca

Twitter - @St_Catharines

Local media - listen to local radio stations, watch local news or check out the websites of local media outlets

Pingstreet - download our app from the App Store or Google Play

Citizens First - call 905.688.5600

Keep your kit container or di in an easy-to-carry vide for each familyit into backpacks members

Enjoy a fire-safe summer Looking forward to good times outdoors? Remember to keep fire safety in mind: it’s as important outside your home as it is inside.

Butt out properly When smoking outside residents must properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches and other smoking materials in deep, sturdy ashtrays or other fireproof containers.

Smokers should never discard cigarettes in planters or potting soil or flick lit cigarette ends or used matches because they can smolder for a prolonged period of time and create a fire in dried-out material during prolonged stretches of hot and dry weather.

Fireworks St. Catharines residents can only set off consumer fireworks on Victoria Day and Canada Day and the days immediately preceding and following the holidays. Residents should only purchase consumer fireworks from businesses that have an approved Consumer Fireworks Sales Permit from the St. Catharines Fire Services. Licenced businesses are only allowed to sell fireworks on Victoria Day and Canada Day and the seven days leading up to the holidays.

St. Catharines Fire and Emergency Services recommends residents attend public fireworks displays rather than setting off fireworks themselves.

Visit www.stcatharines.ca/Fire for more about fire safety.

Reduce your risk for a flooded basement This time of year, when the ground is still frozen or saturated from the snow melt, a heavy rainfall can put every home at risk of flooding, even if it’s never been a problem before.

Reporting a basement flood Report basement flooding to the City by calling 905.688.5600 Determining the cause of basement flooding is not always easy.

Be prepared to answer the following questions as best you can: Where is the water coming from?

When did it start?

How much water is there?

What is the clarity of the water?

Spring Thaw Here are some things you can do in advance of the spring thaw to prevent against basement flooding: Clear your eavestroughs and downspouts of snow and ice. Doing so will ensure water drains properly.

Make sure your downspouts are draining water away from your foundation.

Clear sewer grates and ditches between properties to help water enter the storm sewer.

Make sure it is safe to do so before you begin.

Protect your home from basement flooding

Avoid pouring fats, oils and grease down the drain because they can clog pipes.

Avoid flushing hygiene products down the drain because they can also clog pipes.

Keep food scraps, plastic wrap and other solids from going down the drain.

Seal cracks or openings in walls, floors, windows, foundations and window wells.

Disconnect downspouts and sump pumps from the sanitary sewer system.

Repair/replace damaged weeping tile systems.

Know the location of your water shut-off valves.

Flood Alleviation Program (FLAP) The City provides grants up to $3,500 to help cover the costs of installing protective devices such as a sump pump and backwater valve.

These devices can help provide basement flooding protection and decrease the volume of rainwater discharged into the sewer system.

62

Homeowners who have had a sanitary backup as a result of a sewer surcharge may be eligible.

Private Swimming Lessons (3+ years)

Evaluation Process

Ideal for swimmers who want a little more practice. Not eligible for Starfish, Duck and Sea Turtle levels.

Each child receives a progress card at the end of each session and a sticker/badge when a level is completed.

Progress reports and report cards are kept on file for one complete session.

Semi-Private Swimming Lessons Expand any available private lesson to a two-person class (you bring/arrange the two participants). We recommend that participants be within one swim level of one another. Sign up for semi-private swimming lessons via ePlay: 1) Register one of the two participants in the desired class.

2) Speak with a staff member at a City recreation facility to register the second participant and make your final payment.

Registered Aquatic Programs

Participants can register anytime during the season while moving through the Red Cross Learn to Swim program at their own pace.

Each child must be accompanied in the water by a caregiver/volunteer, 14 years of age or over, who is comfortable in the water and familiar with the child’s physical and emotional needs and capable of managing their general progress in a safe manner.
