WHAT'S NEW 

Please view the consolidated Parking By-law, enacted as of May 1, 2019.

Key provisions of the by-law 

Unless otherwise signed or prohibited by the Parking By-law, on-street parking is allowed for up to three hours without a permit between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., and that on-street parking is prohibited between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. unless the vehicle has a valid permit for that date, time and location.  

Prohibited at all times

Whether or not a vehicle has a valid permit, the following is prohibited at all times:

• parking within three meters of a fire hydrant;
• parking within a “No Park” or “No Stop” zone;
• parking within nine meters of an intersection;
• parking within 0.6 meters of a private roadway;
• parking left wheels to the curb;
• parking on private property without the consent of the owner or occupant;
• on any roadway having an overall width of less than six metres;
• parking during snow events if parking would interfere with snow clearing activities; and
• commercial vehicle parking on a residential driveway unless construction is being prepared for or is underway, unless the vehicle is wholly enclosed within a garage.

Accessible parking permits

Also, valid accessible parking permits allow people to park in disabled spaces.  Please see the by-law for complete information.

1. Visitor Parking Permits  

Residents can buy permits for their visitors to park on city streets. Applications are available online at any time; permits are electronic and do not need to be printed or displayed. 

Permit conditions: 

• There is a fee of $7 per permit.
• Permits are available for up to 10 consecutive days and up to 60 days per calendar year (i.e. Jan. 1 to Dec. 31).
• Permits are non-transferable between licence plate numbers. Unused permit dates cannot be cancelled and reissued at a later time if the dates have already passed.

• To ensure your street can be accessed by emergency vehicles, visitor parking permits are available only on streets that are at least eight metres in width.  

• For a list of streets for which permits are available, view the following document or map.

• If your street is not eligible for visitor parking permits, the online system will allow you to select a permit on another street and your visitor should park on the street for which the permit is issued.

2. Construction parking permits  

Until the new changes come into effect, residents can request permission to park on the street when undertaking construction or renovation work on their private property. Permits are issued at no cost for a maximum of 30 days per calendar year.

Please note: Permits are not transferable between licence plate numbers. Non-used permit dates cannot be cancelled and reissued at a later time if the dates have already passed.

How can I apply?
Applications are available online.  To ensure your parking permit can be issued in a timely manner, please apply at least three business days in advance of when it is needed.
