City Councillors Matthew Shoemaker and Corey Gardi are bringing forth a resolution during Monday evening’s Council meeting to implement free all-day parking for veterans with a poppy license plate on Remembrance Day.
“The City of Sault Ste. Marie currently offers two-hour free parking at municipal parking lots and on-street parking spaces to veterans who have the poppy licence plates throughout the year,” the resolution states.
“Whereas on Remembrance Day, events in the downtown core honouring the sacrifices of those veterans are often longer than two hours in length.
“Now Therefore Be It Resolved that every year on Remembrance Day, veterans with a poppy licence plate be granted free parking at all municipal parking lots and on-street parking spaces for the entire day.”
Strike out “on rememberance day”.
Vets should park free.
Here in st John’s it’s from the 4th to the 8th…lmao not the 11th though. Thatd be asking for more than they can give
I agree should be free parking everywhere we pay enough taxes
I am a veteran and every town I’ve ever lived had free parking every day with vet plates. I’m in shock it’s not in the Sault, very sad about my home town 😓
I agree with you Wendy! It should be free for them everyday ,e dry where!
Should be free for them all the time!
couldn’t agree with you more…they paid their dues a long time ago… and should be treated with more respect

How about everyday? Everyday should be Veterans Day 🤷🏻♀️
Free parking some one parks there and stays all day ? Really meters make them move.
How about all the time. They deserve so much more than we are giving!!!
Wendy Robertson yes!!
They should park free EVERY day.
They rejuvenated the downtown here in Sarnia
Part of it is free parking…..
It should be free every day !!!!!
You’re right Annette, it should be. Let’s get a petition going to make it happen!!
I agree 💯 that veterans and active duty soldiers should have free parking 365 days a year!! They should never have to struggle and definitely should never be homeless!! They should never have to suffer alone and should always always be treated with the respect that they deserve for the sacrifice they have given for this great country that because of them we are able to be free and safe!
Should have a year pass.
Veterans should have free parking always even at medical appointments or hospital visits or appointments
Should be everyday for them !!!!! %(
Veterans should have fee parking anywhere anytime.
no need a stat holiday—-all officers are off
Veterans should not pay for parking period ..everywhere including hospitals and government agencies
a truly great idea don’t talk about it do it
I think free parking would be good for most businesses. No free parking no shopping. Think about it.
I think veterans should get free parking every day. Along with other perks and discounts. God knows they deserve that & so much more! Thank you all for your service to this great Canadian nation 🇨🇦
Matthew Frank Kot they do if they have a veteran plate
Should be free year round
just make it for everyone !!
