Veterans can now park for free downtown or in other park plus areas of the city.

The Calgary Parking Authority launched the one year Veterans Parking Program pilot on Saturday, giving every veteran $10 a month of free parking credits.

“This new program is easily integrated into our parking system. Because ParkPlus is license plate based, we can quickly and easily provide parking credits to individuals with veterans’ license plates,” said Troy McLeod, CPA General Manager.

It works out to $120 dollars a year of free parking, but the credits don’t carry over from year to year.
