Park for free downtown starting Dec. 16 until the end of the month thanks to the Sault Ste. Marie transit department.
Parking without charge is available at all meters, pay-and-display units, and two-hour municipal parking lots in the downtown area until Dec. 31.
The exemption does not include parking in accessible spaces without a permit, identified no-parking areas, fire routes, and private lots, a news release said. Drivers should also respect the two-hour limit for on-street parking as a courtesy to other shoppers and residents.
Contact the parking enforcement office at 705-759-5320 for more information.
