For their convenience, residents can download and use a mobile parking app called "Passport Parking Canada" to pay for parking. Please ensure you download this app specifically as other apps will not work. Users will be charged a convenience fee of $0.35 per transaction. 

How to use the app
Each parking meter has a decal identifying the zone and space number. When using the app, enter this information along with your payment details and any other request information. If you encounter any problems with the app or parking meters, or if you have any questions, please contact us at (867) 920-5630 or check out the Passport Canada Step-by-step Guide.
