Arts and Culture Did you know?

Local artist Amy Friend has displayed her artwork internationally!

Friend has exhibited in places such as New York, Paris and Athens.

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.

‘Vestiges’ by Amy Friend A special public art project was unveiled on March 21, 2018 at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre in the Algoma Lobby. The art piece is a 10’ x 15’ photograph of the artist’s grandmother’s nightgown, printed on fabric. Friend speaks to the piece stating, “while working with these garments many appeared to ‘dance’ as they were tossed in the air.” She shares a story of her grandparents: her grandfather always dreamed of being a dancer, yet life circumstance did not allow that to happen. When Friend’s grandparents did dance, however, it was magic. Friend’s art tells a story, it is contemporary, bold and proud, a symbol of the creative strength and skills of St. Catharines’ local artists.

Whether it’s the first snowfall of the season, a dusting during the holidays, or a frosty February weekend, winter in St. Catharines can be ‘snow’ much fun.

There are many activities, like public skating at our arenas, residents can enjoy to stay active during the season. While we don’t maintain City parks during the winter, they are still perfect spaces to enjoy outdoor activities, such as snowshoeing.

So, dress for the weather and embrace St. Catharines this winter.

Prepare your home for winter While most water lines are safely buried below the frost line, periods of extreme cold can put water lines at risk for freezing.

Use the following tips to protect your home:

• Seal air leaks in the home, especially

• Insulate water lines inside the home with

pipe sleeves, especially in unheated areas

• Disconnect, drain and shut off all outdoor hoses and faucets.

• Insulate all exposed outside water pipes with foam pipe covers.

• If water lines are in cupboards or closets, open the cupboard or closet doors.

• Set the thermostat to at least 12C (55F) and leave the furnace on, even at night and when not at home.

Frozen water lines can leave you without running water for days. Be sure to have enough bottled water in your emergency preparedness kits for everyone in the home for at least 72 hours.

Winter Control

We hate to admit it, but winter is only four months away.

The City is ready for whatever winter throws our way.

What we do before a winter storm In some instances, crews apply a layer of brine to main roads prior to an anticipated storm. The brine causes the snow and ice to melt and prevents them from bonding to the road surface, which makes plowing the snow more effective.

What we do during a winter storm • Main roads are cleared to bare pavement before snow

removal begins on other roads. This means some main roads could be plowed several times before plows move to secondary roads.

S’No Parking • The City will declare S’No Parking to be in effect when

Environment Canada forecasts a minimum of 10 cm of snowfall within a 24 hour period.

• During S’No Parking residents are urged not to park their vehicles on the street.

• Residents should plan for off-street parking for at least 72 hours while S’No Parking is in effect.

Sidewalks • Property owners are responsible for clearing the full width

of sidewalks in front of and/or beside their property to bare concrete within 24 hours after a snow or ice event.

• Once main roads are cleared to an acceptable level

• Snow and ice not removed within 24 hours is subject to be

• Residential roads are plowed to centre bare condition,

Follow these tips to make sidewalk snow removal easier • Shovel as soon as possible after a snow fall. Once snow

crews move to secondary roads and residential roads. meaning the plow will create one lane for vehicular traffic.

Some notes about plowing • Salt is applied to main roads and designated secondary roads.

• Sand is applied on residential roads.

• Plows have nowhere to push snow except to the curb or

the shoulder of the road. Often times, this includes any driveways in their path. When you shovel your driveway, place the snow “downstream” (right side when facing the road) so your driveway won’t be filled in when the plow comes by.

• If you have a fire hydrant on your

property please ensure it is accessible in case of emergency. Prior to the winter, City staff will attach a flag to the hydrant to identify its location.

becomes packed down it is difficult to remove.

• Spread salt onto the sidewalk to prevent snow from adhering to the concrete.

• In low temperatures (below -12°C) salt does not work as effectively. Spread sand instead.

How to stay informed: Check Pingstreet, our website, Facebook, Twitter or local media to see if S’No Parking is in effect.

Voting for Regional Chair and Regional Council In Niagara, electors vote only once for the office of regional chair and for regional councillors who don’t sit on any local municipal council. If you’re an elector who qualifies to vote in two or more municipalities in Niagara you can only vote for regional chair and regional councillor in one municipality. If you vote in a second municipality you must leave the regional chair and regional councillor portions of the ballot blank.

Emergency planning

In St. Catharines we enjoy a typical Canadian Winter. However, if you’re not ready for it, that snow day you were hoping for can turn out to be more of an inconvenience than you bargained for.

It was less than five years ago that six feet of snow shut down Buffalo, N.Y. for most of a week, closing roads and highways, cutting off access to food and goods deliveries to replenish empty store shelves. It could happen here. Although on a smaller scale, a snow storm last March dropped more than 30 cm of snow on St. Catharines and shut down the city for most of the day.

Be ready for winter by making sure your home emergency preparedness kit has the following: • Food and water for everyone in the home (72 hour supply)

• Copies of important family records and documents

• Battery or crank radio

• List of medications

• First Aid kit

• Basic tools

• Flashlights (safer than candles)

• Blankets (for winter months)

• Basic toiletries and non-prescription drugs

• Paper and pen

• Cash (in case ATMs aren’t available)

• Make sure everyone in your household knows where the emergency kit is stored

• Change of clothes for each person

• 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

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

Stay fire safe this winter Smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and home escape plans

Also, don’t use ovens, stoves or any appliance for heating your home unless it’s designed for that purpose.

Installing working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms at home as required by the Ontario Fire Code and knowing an escape plan is a must.

Other safety tips

Warming up in cold weather Cozying up by the warmth of a fire can make winter temperatures a little easier to bear. However, an open flame can be dangerous when heating your home with a wood-burning or portable ethanol-burning appliances if you are not careful.

Always use a utility lighter or long match to light fireplaces and extinguish when leaving the room or turning in for the night.

Crack a window to ensure there’s always a fresh supply of air.

In the case of portable ethanol-burning appliances, never refuel while in use, always refuel outside, ensure appliances are on sturdy surfaces and never move them while in use.

58

• If a pot catches fire when cooking, cover it with a lid and turn off the heat. Never move a burning pot.

• Pay attention when cooking and never leave food on the stove unattended.

• Don’t use barbecues, propane heaters or other outdoor fuel fired appliances to warm your home.

• Use space heaters as per the manufacturers instructions and ensure there is proper ventilation, as applicable, and enough clearance from combustibles.

• Avoid overloading electrical systems.

• Check on neighbours who may be vulnerable.

• Keep fire hydrants on your property free of snow and ice.

• Use candles in sturdy holders. Never leave burning candles unattended. Learn more at www.stcatharines.ca/FireSafety.

Swim All Year

Registered Aquatic Programs

Children register once and swim on the same day and time from September to June, moving through the Red Cross Learn to Swim program at their own pace. Select the starting level based on your child’s current swimming ability and watch your child improve their swimming skills. Evaluation of swimming skills is done on a continual basis, with reports and badges given when a level is completed.

Angel Fish (4 to 14 years) This program focuses on developing water safety habits and basic swimming skills for children with learning, physical or intellectual difficulties. 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.
