Parking
The fees collected from parking at Georgian Bay General Hospital directly contribute to patient care through the annual operating budget of the hospital. The hospital must raise 16% of its operating budget annually.
GBGH provides discounted parking rates for frequent users. The rates are as follows:
| 30 minutes or less | Free |
|---|---|
| Hourly Rate | $4.00 |
| Visit Rate (up to 24 hours) | $10.00 |
| Weekly Pass | $35.00 |
| Monthly Pass | $80.00 |
Please note that longer term parking passes result in greater savings for those who will be at the hospital on a more regular basis.
Remember to keep your ticket with you and not in your vehicle in order to pay for parking in either the main lobby or the emergency department entrance when leaving the hospital.

EMERGENCY PARKING
There is an emergency drop off area only and then you will have to move your vehicle to the parking lot. The drop off area must be clear for ambulances.
The hospital is not responsible if a violation ticket is issued.
After dropping off a patient, your car should be moved to the hospital parking lot where you will be required to pay $3 per hour up to a maximum of $10 for a 24-hour period.
Please remember to bring your parking ticket with you into the hospital to pay at the machines located in the emergency department entrance and the front lobby.
Annual Parking Revenues
Hospitals are responsible for all costs related to parking facilities, including construction, equipment and maintenance. The Ministry of Health does not provide any financial support for parking lots and structures, and the Broader Public Sector Parking Directive limits the ability to increase visitor parking revenue to offset losses.
