Meter cards
Tired of searching for coins for the parking meter? Try a meter card! It's convenient, easy, and cost effective.
It acts just like a gift card; load the card at our office, then it can be used at any City parking meter instead of coins. Insert the card into a meter to put the maximum amount of time allowed on the meter, then when you return insert your card again to retrieve any unused time. Meter cards can be reloaded at our office when required.
Meter cards are available at Municipal Parking Services in the Victoriaville Civic Centre.
PLEASE NOTE: When using a meter card at single-space meter it will take up to 14 hours ($28.00) of parking time off the card and put it on the meter. It is imperative that you remember to reclaim your unused time before driving away or that time will be lost and cannot be reimbursed.
