Parking Regulations

Regular Parking Regulations

  • Where there are no signs, you are allowed to park for 3 hours.
  • Do not park on the landscaped portion of the road allowance, and do not block or park closer than 1.5 meters of another driveway/ laneway.
  • Winter Parking Restrictions apply from November 1 to April 1 each year.
Winter Parking Restrictions
  • From December 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024 inclusively, a regular winter parking ban will be in effect each night from 1:00a.m. to 7:00a.m., regardless of weather conditions.

During this period, no person shall park a vehicle or permit a vehicle to remain on a street between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., regardless of the weather conditions. Any person who does so is liable to a fine and/or will have their vehicle towed at the owner’s expense.

During a winter parking ban, please park in your driveway or use one of our designated overnight parking areas. 

 

Pilot Project Continues for Winter Parking Restriction (2023-2024)

  • In November and in March, the on-street parking ban will be reduced to alert-based only (since there is historically less snowfall during these months).

Register for our parking ban alerts. You will receive an email notice before 2:00p.m. if an on-street parking ban is in effect.

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.
