Parking
1) There will be no parking for the general public on Petrie
Island during the Greater Orleans Canada Day except for handicap drivers and their
vehicles.
2) The largest parking is located off Trim Rd. in
the OC Transpo Park and Ride. Parking spaces are also available at the Place d'Orleans
Shopping Centre, with bus service to the Park and Ride lot via the 95.
Parking is also available in the Taylor Creek Business Park.
5)
Tractor drawn hay wagons will shuttle patrons from Trim Rd. and Hwy. 174 to the
site, however, due to certain requirements that fall under the conditions of our
insurance policy, the causeway leading to the island must be restricted to pedestrian
traffic only once the fireworks are over. As a result of these conditions, the
shuttles will cease to operate after 8:30 p.m., meaning the people on site will
have to walk back to their cars, a distance of 1.2 to 1.6 kilometrs (approx. 15
to 20 min.).
6) Donations will be accepted for the use of
the hay wagon shuttles with the proceeds to be split evenly between event itself
and the community groups providing volunteers for parking and traffic management.
