Parking Restrictions

Please refrain from parking your vehicle for more than three consecutive hours on any Township street from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily, unless signs are posted to indicate otherwise. From April 1st to November 30th, vehicles can be parked on any local street from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. This exemption means By-law Enforcement staff will not ticket cars parked on Township streets during those hours as long as they comply with all other regulations.

No parking is permitted on any Township street during a declared "Snow Event." This restriction applies regardless of the month or time of day. The declaration of a Snow Event depends on credible weather forecasts of substantial snowfalls, or freezing rain events.  Vehicles parked on-street during a significant snow event can be ticketed and possibly towed. Snow events remain in effect until the posted end time, or until a cancellation is issued.

The Township will issue the following to notify the public of a snow event:

1. a media and public advisory
2. posting notification on the Township's website and social media accounts
3. any other means of giving notice that has a reasonable likelihood of coming to the attention of persons who are affected

To receive notice of a significant snow event in effect please subscibe to receive news alerts.

• On or over any sidewalk, or, on the grass within a boulevard or residential yard;

Overnight or extended parking permits recognize that sometimes these occurrences cannot be planned or accommodated in advance.
