The City of St. Catharines is committed to keeping roads and sidewalks clear to help ensure the safe travel of our motorists, pedestrians, emergency vehicles, and public transit throughout the winter season.
Snow Parking bans
We will temporarily ban on-street parking, or enforce a S'No Parking ban, based on forecasted weather and local observations including temperature, wind and road conditions. While this helps us determine how long a S'No Parking ban will last, you should plan to park off street for 72 hours.
