Boaters parking their trailers at the Lamoureux Park boat launch must pay for parking.

Payment can be made by...

1. Ordering a monthly or seasonal permit online. When purchasing permits online, please have license plate information and credit card ready. Permit holders may register a maximum of three plates.
2. Purchasing a daily permit at the on-site parking machine.
3. Purchasing at the Civic Complex’s Building and By-Law department on the 2nd floor at 100 Water Street East.

Cost for boat trailer parking permits is $10 a day, $40 a month, or $100 a season.

In 2019, purchases of day permits could be credited towards the purchase of a monthly or seasonal pass. In 2020, credits are no longer possible.

Boat trailers and the vehicles towing them must park in designated boat trailer areas. Cars will not be required to pay for parking, and must not park in boat trailer areas. The area in question is the east parking area behind the RCAF wing. Overflow parking on the grass is permitted but parking fees must still be paid. Please click here to view a map for details about the location.

Revenues from boat launch parking fees contribute to boat launch improvements. In 2020, the City is installing new docks at Lamoureux Park and Guindon Park boat launches.

Several municipal parking lots are available for use within the Downtown and Le Village areas.

The parking lots offer Pay by Plate parking for $1 per hour, and there is a maximum length of stay of 12 hours. The pay by plate parking is a paperless system that works by using a vehicle licence plate number rather than a paper ticket. Receipts are optional.

Residents parking in the Pay by Plate stalls and parking lots are required to pay during the hours of 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday.

The fine for parking with no ticket displayed or an improperly displayed ticket is $25.

If you observe a parking meter or Pay & Display machine that isn't working properly, please contact the Building and By-law Department at (613) 930-2787 ext. 2225.

Parking tickets can be paid in-person at the Building and By-Law Department office on the second floor of the Cornwall Civic Complex (100 Water Street East) during regular business hours.

For added convenience, there are three yellow deposit boxes in the City where residents can deposit their parking ticket payments. The boxes are located at the Cornwall Community Police Service headquarter station (340 Pitt Street), the Civic Complex (west side of front entrance, at the bottom of the stairs) and in front of the parking lot at 342 Montreal Road.

 Parking Violations and Fines

Provincial legislation allows municipalities to collect unpaid parking infractions through the Ministry of Transportation by requesting plate denial. The City of Cornwall is connected to such system and your license plate may not be issued by the Ministry of Transportation if there are outstanding fines. Also, at such time, an additional $20.00 is levied to each outstanding ticket in addition to already imposed fees and fines.

To enquire about the status of your unpaid parking tickets or to obtain general information regarding outstanding fines, please contact the Building and By-law Department at (613) 930-2787 ext. 2225.

A registered accessible parking permit must be displayed in a vehicle using any designated accessible parking space. These spaces are signed with a regulation wheelchair symbol.

Applications and eligibility criteria for Accessible Parking permits are available from Driver and Vehicle Licence Issuing Offices (operated by the Ministry of Transportation) or Service Ontario.

Parking in one of these designated spaces without this permit could result in a $300 fine.

Residents with an Accessible Parking Permit are allowed to park in metered areas and municipal parking lots for free for a maximum of three hours.
