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 helping pay for the
event and the community groups providing volunteers for parking and traffic
management.
