This includes all downtown municipal parking spaces such as on-street parking, municipal parking lots, the King Street Parking Garage and Simcoe Parking Garage.

The free two-hour holiday parking program continues until Dec. 31 to encourage people to shop locally.

Any parking fees are voluntary paid during this time at pay-and-display machines, parking meters or via the HotSpot App during the free two-hour period will be donated to Kawartha Food Share. The organization helps more than 8,900 people each month through its 36 member agencies including meal programs and food banks.

“It’s more important than ever to support and shop local. Wolfe Lawyers will continue to invest in local opportunities which give back to the citizens of our great community,” said, Bill Wolfe of Wolfe Lawyers. “Wolfe Lawyers proudly sponsor ‘the gift of parking’ to let you enjoy our many great stores and restaurants during the holiday season and we encourage people to support Kawartha Food Share with some form of donation to help those in need in our community.”

“The holidays lift our spirits and spark kindness and generosity for our family, friends and community,” said Councillor Joy Lachica “Come downtown to support local businesses, park free and help Kawartha Food Share bring food to those in need this season.”

“The holiday season is a perfect time to experience the vibrancy of downtown Peterborough. Free parking makes it easy to grab a coffee, to make a quick stop during the seasonal rush, and especially to support local businesses,” said Councillor Alex Bierk “Let's also remember that making a donation to Kawartha Food Share at a City parking machine is a great way to support those dealing with food insecurity during the holidays. I have witnessed first-hand the remarkable impact this organization has in our community.”

People who need more than two hours of parking are asked to park in the City’s surface lots or parking garages.
