The hand-carved wooden animals of the carousel were created by Charles I.D. Looff and Marcus Illions between 1898 and 1905 in Brooklyn, NY. In 1921, the carousel was purchased for St. Catharines from the original owners in Scarborough. It is comprised of 68 animals: horses, lions, camels, goats, giraffes and four chariots.

The Garden City
CURRENT
Almost time ‘fore’ hitting the linksSpring is finally here, and that means birdies in trees and birdies on the golf course.
It also means golfers will be able to hit the links at the Garden City Golf Course when it opens for another season in mid-May. Tucked away at 37 Lincoln Ave., the par-60 executive course is owned and operated by the City of St. Catharines. From those new to the sport, to loyal regulars, the course offers the opportunity for an enjoyable experience for all levels of golfers.
“The Garden City Golf Course is a great place to serve golfers of all abilities,” says Phil Cristi, the City’s director of Community, Recreation and Culture. “It’s a great course to practice your short game, and is a really good spot for those learning the game, and for novice or intermediate players.”
The municipally run course has been operating for more than 40 years and has become known for its value. From April to May and September to closing, green fees are $11.80 for nine holes and $22.60 for 18 holes during weekdays, and $15.30 for nine holes
and $23.70 for 18 holes on holidays and weekends.
During the prime season (June to August), green fees for 18 holes are $24.75 for adults (18+) on weekdays, $22.60 for juniors (17 and under) and older adults (60+) on weekdays, and $26.85 for all ages on weekends and holidays. Green fees for nine holes for the prime time of the 2020 season are $15.30 for adults on weekdays, $14.20 for older adults on weekdays, $13.70 for juniors on weekdays and $16.30 for all ages on holidays and weekends.
The City also offers a variety of deals throughout the season, including Twilight Golf, a weekday golf and ride special, and there are also activity packs for 10 rounds up to 45, helping you save money in the long run.
The course also boasts a licensed pro shop and patio to enjoy some food and beverage, a putting and chipping green, and practice driving cages.

Mayor’s MessageWelcome to the City of St. Catharines 2020 Spring and Summer Leisure Guide. Warmer weather and longer days have arrived and it’s time to get outside and enjoy our parks, trails and beautiful Lake Ontario waterfront. The Community, Recreation and Culture Services Department staff have created a great lineup of programs for residents of all ages, abilities and interests. I encourage you to try something new with your family and friends.
Many of our parks and public spaces have been upgraded with splash pads and sun shelters to keep cool, alongside new playgrounds, basketball courts and tennis courts and outdoor fitness equipment to stay active.
We also have a great lineup of local festivals this spring and summer: In the Soil Arts Festival, the Niagara Folk Arts Festival, the Foster Festival, Canada Day celebrations, Rotary Ribfest, the Facer Street Heritage Festival and the annual Merritton Labour Day Parade. There is something for everyone to celebrate arts, culture, cuisine and, of course, our hometown pride.
If you have family and friends visiting, or just want explore our city’s history, visit the St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre at Lock 3 to watch the ships rise up the escarpment and visit the Welland Canal Fallen Workers Memorial.
See you on the trails,

Emergencies: Plan, Prepare, KnowIn the event of an emergency, seconds count. A little planning, preparation and knowledge can go a long way.
Emergencies can come in a variety of forms, but they all constitute a major danger to both people and property. With climate change certain types of emergencies, once thought uncommon or even impossible, are becoming increasingly likely. Preparedness is more important than ever.
In the case of an emergency the City and various emergency organizations will leap into action, each enacting their own procedures and plans to minimize the risks when disaster strikes.
Like those emergency professionals, you, and your family, should also have a plan, the knowledge and the preparation necessary to react to any disaster. If you’re prepared it doesn’t only help you. Being prepared means emergency responders can prioritize those who need help most.
Did you know?During an emergency you can call 2-1-1 for important non-emergency information such as road closures, evacuation
centre locations, and availability of services.
Plan
Prepare
Know
In the event of an emergency you could be without help for days as emergency workers prioritize the most urgent injuries and incidents. Food, water and other necessities might not be accessible or available. It’s important you have enough to get you, and your family through the first 72 hours.Most importantly your home emergency supply kit should include enough non-perishable food and water (four litres per person, per day) for every family member to last 72 hours. It should also be stocked with emergency supplies like a first aid kit, copies of identification, battery radio, flash light and more.
Emergencies can come in a variety of forms, from floods to droughts to health emergencies like epidemics, each presenting their own risks and hazards. You could be ordered to evacuate, or shelter in your home. Luckily a little knowledge can go a long way and knowing a bit about any possible hazard, be it fire or sub-zero temperatures, can help your family prepare and weather any emergency event.A full list of emergency hazards can be found online at stcatharines.ca/EmergencyPreparedness.

online.
Seconds count in an emergency, and having a plan means your family will know what to do and when. You won’t waste time making decisions, or second guessing yourself in the moment. Your home emergency plan should include: • Designated meeting areas• Communications plan, including emergency contacts• Home escape plan

Helping
When Lisa Vandenberk opened her business four years ago, she was looking for support to help build and grow her startup.
She found exactly what she was looking for while doing her research - the St. Catharines Enterprise Centre. The centre provides information, resources and tools that Niagara’s entrepreneurs need to launch and grow their businesses.
The free business courses and mentorship helped grow my business, LV Physiotherapy, from a small treatment room inside a wellness center to an independent facility with a team of qualified health care professionals providing optimal physiotherapy care. I have stayed in contact with the Enterprise Centre as my business has grown and am proud to be able to volunteer in the Summer Company Program.
The Enterprise Centre is a unique partnership between Ontario’s Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, and the City of St. Catharines’ Economic Development and Government Relations division. Part of a network of 47 Small Business Enterprise Centres and other business support services, the centre engages with more than 500 aspiring startups and existing small-business owners each year.
“We have a wide variety of services to help support business owners, but most clients start by attending a series of seminars including a recommended series of short and interactive lessons on important business topics,” says Rob Belchior, small business consultant.
Services offered at the centre include:• Accesstostart-upinformation• Programsandfundinginformation• Informationsessions,seminars
and workshops• Businessplandevelopmentand
review services• Salesandmarketingplanassistance• Networkingevents• Referralstoqualifiedbusinessprofessionals• Consultingservicesandmuchmore!
Seminars include topics such as Steps to Starting a Small Business, Creating Your Business Model, Introduction to Market Research, Marketing 101, Business Plan Basics and Cash Flow Forecasting, as well as other topics ranging from book keeping and accounting to social media management, and more.Howard Hyman is another client who has utilized the services offered by the Enterprise Centre, and says they have been key supporters as he launched Absolute Soccer Life in January of 2018.“I have found the information invaluable,” says Hyman, “and I came away feeling like I have a source of support and information going forward.”
Providing those supports is central to the mission of the centre, says Belchior.
Starting up and growing a business can be a challenge, but we want to help link our clients to the programs, incentives and supports that will help them on the path to success.

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 th 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?
Reduce your risk: spring thawHere 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.
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.
Homeowners who have had a sanitary backup as a result of a sewer surcharge may be eligible for the FLAP program.
For more information visit stcatharines.ca/FLAP or call 905.688.5600
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.
Staying above the tide: flood prevention and preparationOur weather system is changing, a climate crisis is impacting our lives everyday, including increased risk of flooding.
We’ve already seen dramatic swings in the weather, bringing with them historically high water levels on Lake Ontario. Precipitation is only set to increase, with projections pointing to a 163mm increase over the next three decades.
The duration and intensity of rainfall patterns are expected to change, which can lead to flooding caused by localized rainstorm events. Knowing how to safe guard your home, protect your property and personal valuable items are important to think about now in order to be prepared.
