Get Problem Reports to the Right Person in the Right Department

by

PSR_MAPWith Spring here to stay (any bets?), we’re introducing a 3rd Party system for capturing Complaints, Problems, Information Requests and Suggestions. It runs on any computing device with a browser, including smartphones.

You’ll find a “Report It Now” image on the left column of each page on this website, just below the main menus. Click on it to open a new browser tab and follow the simple prompts.

(Mandatory) Choose one from a series of “Categories”, then select the service “Type” that most closely fits what you want to report. These Categories and Types are chosen to suit the NOC “family”. See the last paragraph below for a longer list.

(Mandatory) Use the Google maps feature to pinpoint the right location. If you are using a smartphone with GPS, it’ll take your current location if that’s appropriate.

(Optional) Take/Upload appropriate photo images that will help Service Provider Staff to address your request more quickly and effectively.

Add descriptive information as required. If you’d like a phone call back, then leave your name and phone number here.

Submit your Service Request and you’ll be asked for your email address, so that the Service Provider can send you a link to keep you up to date with the Service Request status, as it’s dealt with. Don’t worry, your email is not disclosed to the Service Provider, so that you can stay anonymous while staying in touch.

PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T “play” with the system by submitting bogus Service Requests, as it is “live”. Service Providers include the City of St. Catharines, the Niagara Region, and other lower tier Niagara Municipalities, Utilities, Humane Societies, etc. The last thing they need is to receive bogus requests which waste time, money, and impact taxes.

Note: If you don’t see the Categories or service Types that you need, you can access a much more comprehensive list by closing the “Create Service Request” overlay window without submitting the Service Request, then click on the main page (Public Service Request), and you’ll get a “Public” page with many more options.

 

A very big THANK YOU! And a Facilities update.

ThankYouGiraffesThank you to all the Volunteers who braved horrible blustery, wintery conditions (including a few snow flakes!) to do the annual Spring cleanup at the Club. It looks pretty good all spruced up ready for the competitive season to begin in less than 2 weeks.

We’d also like to thank the City’s Recreation and Community Services crew for coming by to check on garbage pickup and arrange for brush pickup resulting from this morning’s efforts. Portapotties were also placed early this year by the City (shared with the soccer and football fields), at the Club’s request, and the broken bleacher seating was repaired promptly. This blogsite is regularly scanned by City Staff to schedule  water availability, lighting service, perimeter fence repairs (from vandalism) and tree maintenance, so that crews are not scheduled in a way that would interfere with Meets.

We have been pre-notified by the City, that because of the resolute advance of the emerald ash borer pest, our line of beautiful mature Ash trees will have to be felled this summer to avoid fallen tree/branch hazard. They will be replaced by new, young trees, but obviously it will take some years to regain the shade canopy.

Again, to those of you who came out to help this morning,

THANK YOU!

PostponementFrom Sharon:

Due to unforeseen circumstances and schedules, the Annual General Meeting is postponed to Saturday February 9th at 10:00 am in the Clubhouse.

Practice for tomorrow is cancelled.  Athletes who are competing on Sunday should do their pre-competition warm up at home.

We apologize for the short notice with the changes.

Revised Indoor Training Schedule

Sharon Shares:

I have attached a revised training schedule to accommodate the indoor training at McMaster University.

This is the closest available indoor facility.  This is more convenient than travelling to York University.  I have sent an information sheet with the details, by email.

Car pooling is recommended.  Athletes should let us know if they can drive others or if they need a ride.
