Arts and Culture Fun Fact The Centennial Gardens Totem Pole was commissioned in 1966. It was shipped by train from Alert Bay, BC and erected in 1967.

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.

The Centennial Gardens Totem Pole In the 1960s the nation was nearing its 100th anniversary of Confederation and communities across the country sought ways to commemorate that historical event.

The City of St. Catharines commissioned Kwakwaka’wakw artist, Doug Cranmer of the ‘Namgis Nation to create a totem pole for our Centennial Gardens.

The Totem Pole consists of five characters that carry their own meaning and symbolism. Atop the totem pole is a Thunderbird, followed by a Bear holding Copper, a Cedar Man, a Sisiyutł, and a Raven.

St. Catharines Invests in Culture www.stcatharines.ca/SCCIP In 2018 the City invested $337,488 in individuals and organizations, helping our community experience thousands of activities!

“Curtain Call” rendering by Lilly Otasevic

Carlisle Street Public Art Project

“Curtain Call” by Lilly Otasevic is the selected art piece that will be installed on the wall of the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre.

Otasevic will fabricate and install her work of art - a painted aluminum sculpture of colourful oversized beads that follow a wavy shape similar to a wampum belt. “The Two Row Wampum Belt, which was my original point of departure, is an element that embodies historical and contemporary context of the City of St. Catharines,” said Otasevic. The multiple colours incorporated into the design reflect St. Catharines’ cultural diversity, the randomness represents the interconnectedness of diverse peoples who make up our contemporary fabric. For Otasevic the design and display of this piece is “important because it successfully reflects what St. Catharines was and is about cultural diversity, respect, togetherness, shared future goals.”

Next application deadlines: March 22 and May 24

The Garden City

CURRENT

Leisure Guide

Spring and Summer 2019

Have your say, your way Our new online engagement website, EngageSTC.ca, is a new way for the community to learn about City projects and initiatives and share their feedback with us. It’s another way we are working towards our vision for St. Catharines to be the most dynamic, innovative, sustainable and livable city in North America.

What residents have to say is important to us. However, we know its not always easy to get to the open house or public meeting relating to projects or issues important to you. Now, residents can use EngageSTC to learn more about the City projects and initiatives, share feedback with us and stay up-to-date with other happenings at the City when it is convenient for them.

The city where everyone can play!

The City of St. Catharines parks are an important part of what makes St. Catharines a great place to live. City parks serve as neighbourhood hubs and are spaces where residents of all ages and abilities can come together to enjoy healthy, active lifestyles.

Enhancing St. Catharines parks and public spaces builds community pride and promotes healthy lifestyles for everyone.

Last summer, we celebrated new multi-sport courts at Roehampton Street Park and East Port Park, a new playground at Wise Guys Park and a new splash pad at Bogart Street Park.

We plan to invest in City parks in 2019 to continue to enhance quality of life and create a city where everyone can play.

2019 enhancements • East Port Park

Upgraded multi-sport court with pickleball and tennis courts. Work should be completed by the summer.

• Lester B. Pearson Park

Upgraded multi-sport court with pickleball and tennis courts. Work should be completed by the summer.

• Douglas Park

Upgraded accessible playground structure and surface. Work should be completed by the end of 2019.

• Barley Drive Park

Upgraded basketball court. Work should be completed by the end of 2019.

Since we’ve begun test running EngageSTC earlier this year, the website has been visited hundreds of times and has a growing number of participants.

So far, we’ve used EngageSTC to consult with residents about conceptual plans for improvements at Sunset Beach.

We’ve also used EngageSTC for online nominations for our annual Volunteer Awards and our new MyHoodSTC good neighbour awards.

Watch for more consultations to pop up on EngageSTC, including an opportunity to ‘Ask us Anything!” where we collect and answer questions about various City-related topics.

Emergency planning If an emergency happens in your community, it may take emergency workers some time to resolve the situation.

Every resident should have an emergency plan. It takes only minutes to complete, and will help you and your family know what to do in the event of an emergency.

Discuss what you would do in different situations. From natural disasters and significant weather events, to power outages and industrial or transportation accidents, think of the risks you might face and use that discussion to help you prepare a plan.

Emergencies can happen anywhere in the city, anytime and without warning. Protect yourself and your family by assembling a home emergency kit with some of the following items: • List of medications • Cash (in case ATMs aren’t • Three-day supply of food and available) water for everyone in the home • Basic tools • Change of clothes for each • Battery or crank radio • Blankets (for winter months) person • First Aid kit • Paper and pen • Copies of important family • Flashlights (safer than candles) records, documents and phone • Playing cards (for fun) numbers • Basic toiletries and nonprescription drugs

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

Enjoy a fire-safe summer

Nothing says “summer” like enjoying the outdoors. While enjoying activities, however, 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 cigarettes, matches and other smoking materials in deep, sturdy ashtrays or other fireproof containers.

Smoking materials should never be flicked, carelessly thrown away or extinguished in planters which may contain materials that can ignite. When hosting get-togethers, designate a smoking area outside, with sturdy fire-proof containers to dispose of smoking materials. Ashes should be emptied into a metal container, not the garbage can, and stored outside.

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

Fireworks

St. Catharines residents are only permitted to discharge fireworks on private property on Victoria Day and Canada Day, including the day before and the day after these holidays in accordance with the City’s Fireworks By-law.

Residents should only purchase fireworks from businesses that have a posted permit from the fire chief that allows them to sell fireworks. Licenced businesses are only allowed to sell fireworks in the City on Victoria Day and Canada Day, and the seven days leading up to the holidays.

Citizens using fireworks should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure their safety. While enjoyable, St. Catharines Fire and Emergency Services strongly recommends residents leave fireworks to the professionals and attend public displays when available, rather than setting off fireworks themselves.

The Nature of

St. Catharines We must ensure the necessary environmental protections are in place, invest in our green infrastructure, conserve and preserve our natural resources, and prepare for climate change. We must be mindful of the legacy we leave for future generations.

LED Streetlight Conversion The City of St. Catharines is nearing the end of a four-year streetlight conversion project, swapping more than14,100 traditional high-pressure sodium fixtures with LED fixtures. Once completed, not only will the City’s streets be brighter, but the City’s street light energy bill will be reduced by more than 60 per cent.

Helping Reduce Plastic Waste Giving Electric Vehicles a Boost Last fall the City of St. Catharines partnered with Alectra Utilities to boost access to electric vehicle (EV) charging stations downtown for EV drivers.

A dual-head electric vehicle charging station is available at City Hall in the area of the James Street parking lot entrance. Two electric vehicles can plug into the EV charging station at a time.

The City is offering free EV charging until October 2019; regular parking rates will still apply. www.stcatharines.ca/RechargeSTC

In 2018, the City of St. Catharines banned the sale of water in plastic bottles at most City-owned facilities, followed by the adoption of a plastic straw ban in early 2019.

St. Catharines drinking water is of exceptional quality and free drinking water is available to everyone at water fountains and water filling stations at all City facilities. The City will also install five new outdoor water bottle filling stations this year at Kiwanis Field, Burgoyne Woods, Montebello Park, Lancaster Park and Pearson Park.

In January, City Council passed a motion banning plastic straws and stir sticks for sale and use in city facilities, parks, city-run events and public spaces and requires non-plastic, compostable alternatives be used when necessary.

Giving Back through

Gardening

There are many ways the City of St. Catharines contributes to its Garden City image, benefiting people, the planet, and pollinators.

The City has planted edible gardens at select sites, donating the produce harvested to Community Care of St. Catharines & Thorold. In 2018, more than 100 pounds of food was donated to support Community Care.

Designated a Bee City in 2017, the City continues this designation into 2019, with efforts towards public education, creating and maintaining pollinator habits. Wherever possible, the City plants pollinator-friendly plants and trees.

The City also helps promote gardening through a community gardens program, leasing land to community groups and organizations so they can establish and manage community gardens.

Keeping the Garden City Green With a robust tree replacement program on boulevards, parks and green spaces, to annual tree giveaways, the City of St. Catharines is committed to the development and sustainability of our urban forest canopy cover.

The City has increased its urban forest tree canopy to about 22 per cent, putting us well on our way towards reaching 30 per cent canopy coverage.

The annual tree giveaway has been a success, with more than 1,000 trees being given in 2017 and again in 2018, to be planted on private property.

To request a new tree for your boulevard, call Citizens First at 905.688.5600.

Water Conservation and Efficiency The City of St. Catharines has long been promoting water conservation and reducing runoff into local creeks, rivers and Lake Ontario.

Analysis of water use over the last 20 years has shown significant reductions in water consumption.

Public education and community outreach has been key, with campaigns such as the rain barrel sale helping residents view rainwater as a resource.

Residents have purchased more than 9,000 rain barrels from the City since 2006, reducing runoff and creating a source of water for outdoor uses.

The 2019 free tree giveaway and rain barrel sale is scheduled for Saturday, June 1, from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Seymour-Hannah Sports and Entertainment Centre. Watch our website and social media for complete details.

Reduce your risk for a flooded basement In the spring, a mix of melting snow and April showers can put homes 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 and contact your insurance provider ASAP.

Be prepared to answer the following questions as best you can:

This time of year the ground is still frozen or saturated from the snow melt and a heavy rainfall brings the risk of a flooded basement.

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. Ideally have them drain into your lawn, garden or rain barrel.

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 from the sanitary sewer system.

Repair/replace damaged weeping tile systems.

Know the location of your water shut-off valves.

Flood Alleviation Program (FLAP)

62

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.

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

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