Parking fees return to BC hospitals, health authority sites this March

After officials scrapped it at the onset of COVID-19, pay to park soon returns to all BC hospitals and health authority sites.

The Province of BC announced today that parking fees at these facilities will be reinstated, effective Mar. 4, 2022.
