Charles Hall parking lot: New mandatory hang-tag system
January 30, 2026
To improve the overall parking experience and to ensure consistency and compliance, we’ve transitioned to a hang-tag system for all Charles Hall lot permit holders and permit holders with access to this lot.
If you’re a current Charles Hall lot permit holder and haven’t done so already, contact parking@dc-uoit.ca as soon as possible to pick up your hang tag. Once issued, the tag must be clearly displayed on your rearview mirror whenever you’re using the lot.
Please note: After Friday, February 6, parking enforcement will be ticketing any vehicles in this lot without a visible Charles Hall hang tag.
Non-permit holders: Short-term parking is available after 2 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. Payment is required via the HONK mobile app or by scanning a QR code located on parking lot signage. Paid parking is strictly enforced.
Thank you for your co-operation as we work to improve parking operations.
