2026 Parking Season Update
Paid Parking will go into effect on MAY 29th, 2026
We are currently finalizing plans for the 2026 parking season, including updates related to paid parking. A reminder that paid parking will apply to visitors only. Per existing policy, residents/property owners will not be required to pay for parking.
We've gone paperless!
Our resident parking benefits system has switched to a new online permitting software to pursue an efficient and eco-conscious method of ensuring residents gain easy access to their parking benefits. Residents will be able to register up to four license plates that are associated with their property to obtain free parking for those vehicles in any paid parking area and resident-only parking zones.
Please continue to check this page for updates regarding more detailed instructions when access to our software becomes available.
Please note that resident parking permits apply to parking only. Please see below for information on how to access the landfill and community swim.
Policy Information:
Is a resident parking permit the same as a resident parking pass?
Resident parking permits grant the same parking benefits to Pinawa residents as the resident pass without having to display a physical pass.
Resident parking permits ensure free parking in any of the Pinawa paid parking areas and in the resident-only parking zone.
Please note that obtaining a resident parking permit does not grant access to Community Swim or to the landfill.
Do I need a resident parking permit?
Resident parking permits are only required to access free parking in paid parking areas and to access the restricted resident-only parking zone.
If you are a resident living on Burrows Road, Alexander Avenue, McDiarmid Road, McGregor Crescent or Athlone Crescent, it is highly recommended to register for a Resident Parking Permit as street parking in these areas is restricted to vehicles with this permit.
Please note that a resident parking permit is not required to access the landfill or community swim as it is only a benefit applied to parking. Access to the landfill will require presenting your ID to verify your Pinawa residence.
How can I get a Resident Parking Permit?
Registering for resident parking permits is to be done online. Instructions on how to use our software will be released shortly.
Do I have to pay for a Resident Parking Permit?
No. Each property will be able to register up to four license plates for a Resident Parking Permit that are associated with their property, free of charge.
Do the Resident Parking Permits correspond with licence plates?
Yes. Online registration of license plates are replacing physical passes. Up to four license plates associated with the property are able to be registered for a parking permit
What is a resident only parking zone?
The resident-only parking zone is select portions of street parking reserved for residents only. This initiative is to limit congestion around the pool and beach areas and to prioritize residential access to their properties.
Only vehicles that are registered under a resident parking permit are permitted to park on the street in this zone.
The resident only parking zone includes:
- Burrows Road (east side)
- Alexander Avenue (from McDiarmid to Athlone)
- Athlone Crescent
- McGregor Crescent
- McDiarmid Road (east side)
I live in the resident-only parking zone. How can I have visitors?
The resident-only parking zone is meant to limit congestion around the pool and beach area and to prioritize residential access to their properties. Vehicles registered under a Pinawa Resident Parking Permit are the only vehicles permitted to park on these streets.
To avoid ticketing, park the permitted vehicle on the street and ensure your visitors park on your driveway.
For larger events when there is no other option except for visitors to park on the street, please contact the LGD office at 36 Burrows Avenue or at 204-753-5100
How do I access the landfill without a physical pass?
A reminder that only residents of Pinawa are permitted to use the landfill. Please present identification verifying your Pinawa address to access the landfill.
How do I access community swim without a physical pass?
Community swim is restricted to Pinawa residents only. Noting your Pinawa address at the pool counter will grant access to Community Swim
What are the options for non-residents?
Seasonal parking passes are available for purchase for $20/season per vehicle if you are not a resident of Pinawa. Seasonal boat launch passes are available for $75/season.
Do resident parking permits mean I can launch a boat for free?
No. Resident parking permits do not allow for free boat launch use as the parking fee and the boat launch fee are separate charges. However, a seasonal launch pass for residents is offered at a reduced rate. Please see the Boat Launch rate table for reduced rates.
