Petition to stop Pay parking at Victoria General Hospital and Royal Jubilee Hospital Emergencies
Final supporters
This is a petition to boycott pay parking at the emergency sections of Victoria General and Royal Jubilee hospitals. What a sneaky and callous way to make money as a result of our pain and suffering and vulnerability. A wait in an emergency can most definitely take hours and each hour that we wait is coming out of our pockets. So what happens when we run out of parking money...we have to go home? UNFAIR...UNJUST...UNREASONABLE and just plain GREED....
On the Victoria General Hospital Website, it states that proceeds made from parking goes to the Victoria General Hospital Foundation but do we really need pay parking at our emergencies? What about the" This is an emergency...my kid is sick...and I can not worry about a parking meter right now foundation?" Something must be done. This should not be tolerated. There are better ways to handle Emergency Parking at hospitals.

Absolute robbery. My husband was in there for 6 hours last month and I had to keep running out to feed the meter while he was in pain. Disgusting.
Total scam. Imagine having a heart attack and your wife is worried about a parking ticket. Fix this now.
Who thought this was a good idea? Sick people have enough to worry about without needing a pocket full of quarters just to get medical help.
This is so wrong. They make enough off us already with taxes. Leave the emerg parking alone.
GREED. Plain and simple. Hospitals should be about care not shaking down people when they are at their worst.

Everyone should phone Deborah Cracknell, who is behind this outrage. Her phone number is 250-727-4000 extension 15313. Let her know exactly what you think.
