Additionally, beginning January 1 each year, registered owners of vehicles with Veteran Licence Plates are eligible to receive a parking booklet that provides up to 20 hours of complimentary parking in City of Winnipeg on-street paid parking areas. Each booklet contains 10 passes, and each pass is valid for two hours of on-street parking.
In order to receive the prepaid parking booklet the following documentation will be required:
- Licence; and
- Registration of Veteran Plate
There is a limit of one book per veteran. The prepaid parking booklet may be picked up at The Parking Store located at 495 Portage Avenue during normal business hours.

While on-street parking is already complimentary on Remembrance Day, the Winnipeg Parking Authority will now also be offering complimentary parking in the Millennium Library parking facility to vehicles bearing Veteran Licence Plates. Connected to the Convention Centre through the Skywalk from City Place, the facility offers an additional option for veterans attending the ceremony at the Convention Centre.
