Visit stcatharines.ca/basementflooding for more information.
City facilities are open during normal business hours for residents who need to access washrooms. The showers at Kiwanis Aquatics Centre are also available for use, if required, however the pools at the centre are closed on July 28.
The pools at the St. Catharines Kiwanis Aquatics Centre and the Garden City Golf Course (walking only) will reopen as usual on Wednesday, July 29.
If your roadside ditch remains full, please wait at least 24 hours after the storm has ended before reporting it, as drainage systems need time to catch up after heavy rainfall. Please do not report full or flooding ditches unless there is an immediate risk to public safety.
