The City of Winnipeg is considering giving veterans free parking at street meters.

Mayor Sam Katz brought the motion forward at the executive policy committee (EPC) meeting on Wednesday and it was approved.

An interesting proposal. Just the same, I've not parked at a meter in my entire time here so...



Warning: do not read the comments.

 
Windsor has had free parking and lifetime bus passes for Veterans for quite some time now.

Winnipeg is actually quite a bit behind most of the country on this initiative.

If we considered Windsor the rest of the country I would agree.  :p

That is cool to know though.  Anyone else want to chime in with their locale having these niceties.  It would be good to know for vets living in or moving to those areas.
 
London has had free metered parking since 06.  The only requirement was a veteran plate.

Is this based on the Veterans license plates or what?

Yup.  Municipal lots and meters are free as are some private lots.
 
We've had it for a while...
