We recognize the hard work and long hours all of you are contributing to our fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. During this challenging time, we are looking at all the ways we can help support you.

As you arrive and leave for your shifts at our hospital sites, we do not want you to worry about paying for parking. That is why we are so pleased to announce, in partnership with the Ministry of Health, that parking will be free for all health-care workers at specific sites.

Effective April 1, 2020 to March 3, 2022:

March 4, 2022 onward:

Free parking at provincial health-care facilities will continue for patients receiving dialysis treatment or undergoing cancer treatment in acute-care programs, and for parents or caregivers of children staying in the hospital overnight. Volunteers will still be able to park for free, and financial hardship provisions will continue to be managed on a case-by-case basis by health authorities.

Health authorities will continue using methods that were already in place to allow free parking such as dash passes, e-coupons or reimbursement.
