That money’s not just pocket change; it’s funding critical upgrades, new equipment, and improved parking facilities. Rates are steep—$4.50 for 15-30 minutes, up to $16 daily—and while discounted passes exist, the cost adds up for regular visitors and staff. Queensway-Carleton, Montfort, and CHEO also saw major gains, using those funds to bolster patient care and infrastructure. It’s a pricey convenience, but the revenue is directly fueling the future of healthcare in the city. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
