Parking

Ceremony:

Parking at Saint Margaret's for the ceremony will be quite simple. You might have to walk a little, but free street parking is abundant in the neighbourhood, with no cost and little time restrictions.
A overnight parking ban may be in effect if there is snow removal planned for that night. If that's the case, you'll have to move your car before the snow-plow moves it for you. Usually bans are in effect from 2AM-6AM.

Reception:

Parking in the Exchange District is a pet peeve for every Winnipegger I've met. That's why Jeanette and I ride our bikes. But given that it is January, you might not want to pedal your way into the party, so here are some ideas for parking downtown.

1. Street Parking is available near Ace Art, but it's hit and miss, and sometimes restricted by the time of day/length of parking time. Use your own discretion when parking on the street, because we don't want you to get towed!

2. ImPark lots. ImPark are private parking business that specialize in ugly and expensive parking lots with great locations. These lots will likely be in very little use on the Saturday night of our wedding, so they might be a good idea. Remember to pay, and to place your little ticket right-side-up on the dash of your car, or else you might be bussing home. There are two ImPark lots close to the reception venue.

One is one-and-a-half blocks north of Ace Art on King St. It's between Bannatyne and William on King St. It's the oldest parking garage in the city. Maybe even in Western Canada.

The second is a block south of the reception venue at the corner of Ellice and Notre Dame. It's uncovered, but close to the venue.

A map of these parking lots is below or linked here.

3. Taxi.
Unicity Taxi: (204) 925-3131

Duffy Taxi: (204) 925-0101

4. The Bus! Winnipeg Transit might be able to help you to and from our wedding. Careful though, because busses in Winnipeg don't always run after midnight.
