Tickets are purchased from the automated machine in the lots. Cars parked without tickets, or expired tickets will (generally) receive fines.

Street parking is also available -- if it can be found. You may park on the main streets (Bathurst or Queen St.) at any time except rush hour: 4pm - 6pm. Parking during this time period will get you vehicle towed within minutes.
