Winter parking tips

Now that the Winter season has arrived, our Parking Services team has some helpful campus parking tips.

  • Take your time in the parking lots and try to park as straight as possible.
  • Please be careful not to triple park – it can be challenging to see the difference between rows of cars in snowy weather.
  • During heavy snowfalls, our Parking Services team can be found in the parking lots offering assistance, or you can call us directly at 613-727-4723 Ext. 7187.
  • Overnight parking is only permitted in the Visitor’s Lot and Lot 11 (Residence). If you anticipate having to leave your car overnight, please contact Parking Services at 613.727.4723. x 7187.
  • Overnight parking is not permitted in Lots 1, 8, 9, 10 and 12.

All efforts will be made to clear the parking lots in a timely manner, however, depending on the timing of a snowfall, this may not always be possible.
