Paid Parking Program

The Municipality has a Paid Parking Program in effect in Tobermory and Lion's Head from May 15 to October 15 each year. The Municipality enforces its Parking By-law by issuing tickets to illegally parked vehicles for both on-street parking and in parking lots. Enforcement is required to maintain legal parking, regulate traffic movement, and ensure public safety.
