Log In Changes

If you have tried to login to your account, you have noticed some changes. In the past, you could login with the last 6 digits of your last name and the last 4 digits of your telephone number.

With Evergreen, things have changed. For the new user name, you need to login with all the digits of your barcode. After your initial login, you can go into your account and change your user name. You can't use the last 6 digits of your barcode, but you can change it to anything else you want. The password will now incorporate a combination of 7 letters and digits which you create.

If you have any questions, please call either Fleming - 905-563-7014 or Moses F. Rittenhose - 905-562-5711.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to give us a call.
