 Please  note  that  there  will  be  no  specified  volunteer  parking  areas  or  passes  available  during  the  Brier.  As  spaces  in  the  Interior  Savings  Centre  lot  are  limited,  we  suggest  using  carpools  or  using  your  volunteer  accreditation  for  free  transportation  on  the  city  transit  buses.      Nearby  parking  options  may  include  on  street  parking,  parking  garages  on  Lansdowne  and  St.  Paul,  and  other  controlled  parking  lots  nearby.  Any  fees  attached  to  parking  are  at  your  own  expense  and  please  respect  local  business  parking  spots  for  customers.
