City of Cornwall

Beginning Saturday, May 18, boat trailers at the Lamoureux Park boat launch will be required to pay for parking.

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.

A pay-by-plate machine has been installed. Daily parking passes cost $10. Credit cards and cash are accepted, debit cards are not.

At this time, only daily passes are available. Seasonal parking permits will be available soon at a cost of $40 a month or $100 a season. These will be available for purchase at the Civic Complex’s Building and By-Law department on the 2^nd floor at 100 Water Street East. Boaters who want to purchase a monthly/seasonal pass can retain their receipts from daily permits, which will be put towards the cost of the passes when they become available. To be notified when the passes are available, please call Sylvie at 613-930-2787 ext. 2225.

Revenues from boat launch parking fees will be put towards boat launch improvements.

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.

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

The parking lots offer Pay & Display parking for $1 per hour, and there is a maximum length of stay of 12 hours. The Pay & Display machines produce a ticket which must be placed face up inside the vehicle on the driver's side dashboard in order to be valid.

Residents parking in the Pay & Display 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 $20.

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.

Monthly parking permits varies in cost depending on location, however there is often a waiting list for the permit spaces that are available.

To enquire about the availability of monthly parking permits or to be added to the waiting list, please contact the Building and By-Law Department at (613) 930-2787 ext. 2225.

Please read the Regulations Pertaining to Parking Passes. This form will be provided to you for signature upon the purchase of a City Parking Pass.

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 a metered area for free for a maximum of three hours.
