Where does parking money go? »

Every dollar you spend on parking normally funds life-changing and life-saving research and patient care at Sunnybrook.

In 2020/2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions placed on visitors at Sunnybrook, we lost revenues associated with patient and visitor parking. As a result, we were unable to allocate parking funds to support research and direct patient care during that time.

Since then, COVID-19 restrictions have eased and we have seen an increase in volumes that takes us to the same levels we were experiencing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result for 2023/2024, patient and visitor parking generated $6.2 million in net revenue. Of these revenues, $2.3 million was used to support research, and $3.9 million was used to support direct patient care.
