CITY OF VANCOUVER PARKING ENFORCEMENT     

Please find the following information from the City of Vancouver’s website regarding parking.  They will monitor traffic in the community to ensure that bylaws are being adhered to.  This ensures the safety of our students, your children.

In addition to the parking bylaws, we would like to remind you that the staff parking lot is not for drop off or pick up of students and is not a safe pedestrian walkway.

School Zones

As Vancouver's school population grows, so do the traffic and parking problems around schools.  For the safety of children, and to avoid traffic congestion, motorists dropping off or picking up students should pay attention to the following restrictions.
