These designated parking areas will be made available every night starting November 2, 2021 to April 1, 2022 from 7:00p.m. to 7:00a.m. Vehicles parked in these areas during the day can receive a ticket.

Reminders:

  • All vehicles except for commercial vehicles, buses, or trailers can park in these designated areas.
  • Remember these lots are not supervised or controlled and the Township is not responsible for damages to vehicles.

Parking Tickets

A Provincial Offences Act (POA) Part II Offence Notice is also called a parking ticket or a parking infraction.

Parking tickets are issued against the license plate of a vehicle, not the driver of the vehicle. In order to avoid additional fees or an unwanted conviction, the ticket should be dealt with within 15 days of the issue date.

Pay a Parking Ticket

You must pay your parking ticket on or before the due date written on your notice. The due date is indicated on your ticket.
