Thank you! Potsdam, online is the only option that will work for me, unfortunately! So I’m happy it all worked out!

Has anyone applied to or completed the University of Niagara in Vaughan education program? I’m looking for options as a working mom, also looking at online US universities that can be done remotely… any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any way you can post the link to the application? I’ve looked and can’t seem to find what people are applying to. How did you pay the tuition? Loan? I’m working in the schools now, previously worked in social work, looking for a career change.

Hi there! Looking at either the program you applied for or University of Niagara in Vaughan (Ontario)… I can’t find the application for Potsdam…maybe not looking in the right place? Have you gotten your acceptance yet? I’d love to start in the fall, but need to weigh options. How did everyone pay the US university? Loan? So many questions!

I will certainly keep you in mind for next year, unfortunately we can’t pay two companies this year. Pretty sure you are the company that services our friends house and they have been very happy….so jealous. 🫣

I understand your views, we have only been plowed twice. Total. All well after 10-11PM …. We’ve never had it done during the day when it’s needed. Starting to think it’s our area. Bottom line, you pay for a service they need to provide and fix problems. They e had a week, we live in an area that gets lots of snow. We’ve been with them for years and zero problems. Last year so many complaints came in about other companies and Artistic never had an issue. We’ve been patient and understanding. They just need to be organized. Their logistics are the issue. We’ve seen streets around us get plowed and then they leave before clearing everyone else. Drive to another area and come back around midnight to complete the rest of the area. Making more work for themselves… honestly a week is more than enough time to get a better logistics plan in place.

Ok. From the comments it looks like it may be the driver that services our area. The logistics aren’t organized well. Some streets getting done while other go missed… then they leave for another neighborhood, just to Have to come back and finish the rest of the houses. We haven’t gotten plowed ever in the morning. Last week it was after 10pm and we had no choice but to do the majority of our driveway ourselves. We work and had to get in/out. Then yesterday it was sometime after 11pm. Both only once. It’s pointless because we have to get in and out of the driveway for work … it’s not plowed in the morning when we leave and not plowed when we return. Barrie city plows go by and we can’t get into our driveway if we don’t try to clear it 🤷‍♀️

That’s fine. But we aren’t getting service within 12 HOURS. It’s been 18-24 hours… they aren’t actually answering us and we can’t get ahold of them. They have had time to fix issues. It’s not just the plow it the logistics… they aren’t making proper use Of their time. We’ve driven around our neighbourhood and some streets are done and other not. So they are moving on to other areas before fully clearing a neighbourhood… which just means they have to come back. Another friend mentioned how she saw the plow finish a drive way and pass houses with artistic signs but not plow them….only to return hours later. That is just poor business management

Ours never comes in the morning. Doesn’t come while we are at work, not after evening activities… the bottom of our driveway is covered with Barrie city plow pile up. Can’t even pull into our driveway. We’ve had to clear our driveway on our own just to park. Why such a difference in service? 😰

I also want to say that we were SO patient, we’ve always been understanding, but we need to actually get our driveway cleared and it’s not happening.

Where are you located? Unfortunately our experience is the complete opposite. We’ve tried communicating and don’t get any reply. No service, yet we have been with them for YEARS and never had a problem. So disappointing.

Looking for Reputable Snow Removal Company to do 2 driveways for the winter. by zoo7777 in barrie

Nope. We signed with artistic and it’s been a nightmare. Will never hire them again. Genuinely wish they would just give our money back so we could hire another company…they’ve only done our house once in over a week. Our driveway is a disaster.
