There are changes to hospital parking in other parts of Ontario.

The province is requiring hospitals that charge more than $10 per day for parking to offer discounted passes that effectively cut the daily maximum rates for frequent visitors by at least 50 per cent.

The daily flat parking rate at the North Bay Regional Health Centre (NBRHC) is $6.

In a release, the province says hospitals with a daily maximum rate of more than $10 are now providing 5-day, 10-day and 30-day passes that are:

  • Discounted by at least 50 per cent off the daily maximum rate
  • Transferrable among patients, caregivers and their vehicles
  • Equipped with in-and-out privileges throughout a 24-hour period
  • Valid for consecutive or non-consecutive days, at the choice of the pass user
  • Good for one year from the date of purchase.

Premier Kathleen Wynne was at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto today (Monday) to highlight the discounts, which took effect on October 1.
