Hospitals in Ontario that charge more than $10 a day for parking will be required to provide 5, 10 and 30-day passes that cut the daily parking rate in half.

But, the parking rate locally is lower than that.

The daily parking rate at the North Bay Regional Health Centre is $6.

The hourly rate of $3 was cut out effective January 1st locally while staff, physician and student parking fees are up.

The hospital’s website says the staff monthly rate is $50 a month, up from $38.  The staff pay-as-you-go daily rate and the student daily rate are both up a $1.50 to $4.50.

 

The provincial changes take effect October 1st, but hospitals have also been told not to raise daily parking fees for the next three years, starting today.
