During a winter weather parking ban, parking is not allowed on city streets so crews are able to plow and cleanup.
On-street monthly parking permit holders are exempt from this restriction when they are parked in residential parking permit zones.
Available parking
During winter weather parking bans, residents will have access to select OC Transpo park and rides as well as certain recreation centres. Some City parking garages are available for parking during winter parking bans, however it is important that residents take note of what time they need to remove their car.
