New Parking Meter App Launches
The City is pleased to announce that as of Tuesday, August 16, 2022, Passport Parking Canada will be available for residents as the City's new parking meter app.
Parking meters will continue to accept coins, as this has always been the primary method of payment. For their convenience, residents can download and use the app called "Passport Parking Canada." Please ensure you download this app specifically as other apps will not work. As with the previous interface, users can then enter the zone and space number, as well as payment details. Users will be charged the same convenience fee as with the previous app, of $0.35 per transaction.
Using the app: Each parking meter has a decal identifying the zone and space number. When entering parking zone and space numbers in the app, users should use the information currently on meters. This information, which was used for the previous app, is compatible with Passport Parking Canada. Please click the link below to see a step by step guide. If you encounter any problems with the app or parking meters, or if you have any questions, please contact us at (867) 920-5630.
