Re: Surge Learning – Platform Migration

Over the past several months, Surge has been developing an enhanced platform that includes advanced features, updated programs, and improved reporting capabilities designed to create a better user experience for LMS, QRM, and Professional Policies.

Based on the information available at this time, we anticipate migrating to the new Surge platform October 5th, 2026.

  • The migration will begin overnight on Oct. 04th, 2026 9:00 pm.
  • During the migration, the current system will be unavailable. Please complete any incident reports, near miss, hazard inspection forms via email to the department managers between the time period that Surge is not available.
  • The new platform will be available by 12pm PST October 5th. Please login after 12:00pm on October 5th, 2026

Accessing the New Platform

  • The new platform URL is: surgelearning.ca
  • Users attempting to access the previous URL will automatically be redirected to the new site.

User Login Information

  • Site Code: Same as in the current system (Corp.)
  • Username: Same username format as in the current system.
  • New Default Password : Corp2026! 

Staff with a registered email address will receive a welcome email once the migration is complete. This email will include:

  • A welcome video introducing the new platform
  • Instructions for logging in
  • Steps to create a new password

Staff without a registered email address will be prompted to answer three security questions during their first login. These questions will enable future self-service password resets.

Parking Changes re: Peace Lutheran Church Lot

Due to the recent sale of Peace Lutheran Church on the corner of Marshall and Ware, Menno Place staff will no longer be able to use the parking lot as of September 30, 2026.

Staff members who currently use the Peace Lutheran parking lot will need to use the paid parking lots at Menno Place starting on October 1, 2026.

 

Know Your Parking Options

There are four parking lots on campus with spots available to staff who have purchased monthly parking from Impark. Staff with a pass can park in any spot marked STAFF or FLEX. The four lots are:

  • between Pavilion and Menno Home
  • at the end of Brundige in front of Menno Home entrance A
  • the new gravel lot on Brundige near Menno Home entrance A
  • between Menno Home and Primrose Gardens

 

How to Purchase a Parking Pass

If you need to purchase a parking pass you can do that directly through Impark. You will need a code to be able to make your purchase. For new hires this information is in your hiring package. For all other staff please see People & Culture for the confidential code.

The Impark monthly pass is currently $25 per month.
