The Forks and FNP Parking are giving drivers a bit of a break with a view to spreading Christmas cheer.
Drivers can now bring new unwrapped toys to the FNP Parking office instead of paying their outstanding parking fines during the holiday season.
FNP Parking will waive violations for drivers who bring in toys valued at $15 or over for children aged 10-14. All toys will be donated to the Christmas Cheer Board.
“We’ve received about 30 toy donations since we put the call out on Dec. 11,” said Larissa Peck, FNP communications coordinator.
“…some of which were from folks who did not have an outstanding parking infraction, but who just wanted to be part of the giving.”
Peck added the program has been run intermittently over the past number of years.
The final day to take in a toy and nix your parking fine is Thursday Dec. 20.
This initiative only includes tickets issued by FNP Parking and does not apply to city-issued parking tickets or surface parking lots owned by other companies.
