The annual tradition of free parking in downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake will return this December.
To make the holiday season lighter for residents and visitors coming to the heritage district in Old Town, the town is waiving the need to pay for parking starting Dec. 1.
NOTL council voted in favour of the measure during its committee of the whole meeting last Tuesday, in response to a letter from Kathy Weiss, president of the NOTL Chamber of Commerce.
“Offering free parking not only demonstrates goodwill during the holiday season, but also encourages residents and visitors to explore downtown, shop locally, and enjoy the exceptional dining experiences while celebrating the winter festivities,” she wrote.
The vote passed unanimously. Council held no further discussion on the item.
The town has provided free December parking for several years.
