Accessible parking permits
Valid accessible parking permits allow people to park in accessible spaces, but do not provide exemptions from other parking violations, such as fire routes. Permits must be valid on the date of parking and need to be displayed properly with the front of the permit clearly visible (face-up on the dashboard or attached to a turned-down sun visor). For complete regulations, please see the Parking By-law (PDF).
