In the spirit of the holidays, the Town of Greater Napanee is launching a winter parking forgiveness program.
Running from Nov. 21 to Dec. 16, the town will ‘forgive’ a parking ticket in exchange for a new, non-gift wrapped toy for children of any age. The toy must be accompanied with a receipt that shows the cost of the toy is equal to or more than the set fine on the parking ticket.
To make a donation with a toy to have an eligible parking ticket voided, the parking ticket, the toy and the receipt need to be presented at the Legislative Services office. The toy, the receipt and the parking ticket will be received by town staff in exchange for a receipt showing the parking ticket has been voided as part of the program.
The Town of Greater Napanee will also accept monetary donations totaling the same or more than the set fine on the parking ticket. The monetary donations can include cash in clear denominations and coin rolls or gift cards with accompanying receipts.
Donations that will not be accepted include toys that require batteries, toys that promote violence and gift cards without a receipt.
Parking violations that are not eligible for the program include parking in an accessible parking permit space without a permit.
