If you're an eligible veteran who's a resident of St. Catharines, you can apply for a free, annual Veteran's Parking Permit if you don't have an official veteran's licence plate (Poppy Plate). You can park up to three hours at any City-owned meter or hourly lot free of charge if you have a Veteran's Parking Permit or a Poppy Plate.
How to apply
Please complete the Veterans' Parking Permit Application and submit it to Parking Services. You can also visit a local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion or Parking Services on the second floor in City Hall to apply. The Permit is valid for the calendar year.
Poppy plates
You can exchange your current vehicle licence plates at a Ministry of Transportation Vehicle Licensing Office to obtain a veterans' Poppy Plate at no charge.
