City launches Veteran Parking Pilot Project

From November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2023, the City will be piloting a new parking program for Veterans that will allow Saskatchewan Veterans with registered Veteran plates issued by SGI to park free of charge in Saskatoon's pay parking zones within the posted time limits.

”Through community engagement and research, it was found that amendments to the existing program could be made to provide a simplified and improved process for veteran parking similar to other Saskatchewan cities that are offering Veteran parking programs” says Matt Grazier, Director of Community Standards with the City of Saskatoon, “This is a pilot program that we are pleased to offer as a small ‘thank you’ to Saskatchewan Veterans for their service to our city, province, and country.”

This initiative is part of a one-year pilot project exploring the impacts of this program on parking supply and turnover in pay parking zones. At the end of the pilot project, City Administration and City Council will review the impacts and decide whether to continue the program beyond the pilot’s end date.
