No overnight parking on the streets starting Dec. 1

During that time, there is no overnight parking allowed on City streets, including downtown, between 2–6 a.m. unless otherwise signed. Tickets for parking overnight on-street are $35. Vehicles can be towed at the owner’s expense.

Register for the parking exemption portal

If you need to park on a street overnight, you can apply for an exemption. Our parking exemption portal sends you email confirmation of your exemptions and notifies you if your exemption is suspended during a plow out.

About parking exemptions

Up to 12 parking exemptions are allowed per residence per year. Each exemption is valid for a maximum of two vehicles for two consecutive nights. Exemptions are cancelled if snow reaches six centimetres or more or a plow out is called.

Things to keep in mind with parking exemptions:

• Vehicles have to be legally parked; all parking and bylaw regulations still apply with overnight exemptions.
• Exemptions are suspended for 48 hours when six centimetres of snow falls or a plow out is called.
• Reach out to your neighbours for shared parking spaces to keep the streets open for plows. Sign up for plow-out email alerts at guelph.ca/snow.
• Downtown municipal parking and City arena parking lots can be used if exemptions are cancelled.
