Important Notice: Parking and Access Updates
Patients and visitors will notice construction activity on our property as we prepare for the building of our new facility. All hospital programs and services are running as normal.
Please note that there is still parking available in our upper Visitor Lot during this time.
Upper Parking Lot Changes – November 17, 2025
We’re excited to share that a new parking lot is being constructed at the front of our property! As part of this project, there will be changes to our upper parking lot to accommodate construction activities.
Beginning Monday, November 17, a section of parking in the central area of the upper lot will close to allow for necessary curbing and site preparation. The new parking lot is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.
What this means for visitors:
- Visitor parking remains available in both the upper and lower parking lots. To offset the closure of spots in the central upper area, a section of spots will be designated for visitors across from the Ambulance Bay.
- Accessible parking spots will remain in the central area of the upper lot, close to the main entrance.
- Please refrain from parking in areas designated for staff. These will be identified with signage.
- Additional public parking is available across the street along Fletcher Crescent (next to the pavilion and across from Riverdale Park).
- Please allow extra time to park upon arrival.
- Patient drop-offs at the front entrance are encouraged whenever possible, especially for those with mobility limitations.
- The lower lot will also be partially impacted next week for repairs.
Some parking will remain available in the lower lot for patients/visitors if needed. Access to the hospital from the lower lot (staff entrance) will remain available from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as work continues on this important redevelopment project that supports the future of our hospital. Updates will be shared as timelines evolve.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve our facility. Thank you!
Parking Fees
The parking fee at Stevenson Memorial Hospital (SMH) is $10 per day. Parking fees are one of the hospital's main sources of revenue, which are used to maintain parking facilities (such as snow removal, de-icing, and security services) and to support critical needs and essential care at SMH.
In 2016, the government passed mandatory regulations to ensure hospital parking is affordable for patients and visitors. Stevenson continues to follow these policies, and even with the increase from $7 to $10 in 2018, we still have one of the lowest parking fees among hospitals in the region.
Parking Options
Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the emergency entrance off of Fletcher Street. Automated parking meters are installed conveniently throughout the lot, and payment can be made by credit card or cash. Change meters are located on the left side of the Emergency entrance.

Please park only in designated areas and be aware of Heliport restrictions. Vehicles parked in spots indicated with a green "H" must be able to move their vehicles quickly when announced in the case that a helicopter is arriving to airlift patients.
