If you arrive before Kiss and Ride begins, and the lot is full, you must park your car around the perimeter of the roundabout to wait for access to the parking lot.  Cars may not block the entrance/exit of the school parking lot by waiting to turn left into the school while the lot is full.  A sign will be put on the driveway to indicate when the lot is full. You can park at Meadowvale 4 Rinks until the lot re-opens.
· Cars must have access to drive up and down Torquay Mews and in and out of the driveways- our own and the driveways of other businesses.  This is to ensure safety of all individuals and to respect municipal bylaws.
