There will be some changes to downtown parking this afternoon to accommodate the large gathering that is expected to attend Councillor Michael Dawe’s funeral service this afternoon.
Between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. today, Thursday, January 4, Parking will be free on Ross (50) Street between 47 Avenue and 49 Avenue. There will be a note on the HotSpot app notifying residents that they do not need to pay for parking on that zone until 3 p.m.
There will be 15 stalls close to Gaetz Memorial United Church marked with No Parking signs. Funeral attendees are reminded that these stalls are for Councillor Dawe’s family and asked to use other available parking on Ross Street.
To accommodate the expected attendance, there will also be a live video feed presented at the Parkland Pavilion at 1 p.m. or, to join the service through livestream, visit https://vimeo.com/event/3988802.
