Parking & License Plate Recognition

All of the parking facilities are using license plate recognition with the exception of:

• VGH at 12th and Laurel (switching TBD) see procedure below
• Diamond Health Care Centre Parkade (switching TBD)
• Innomar Clinics

Construction continues at the main entrance at Burnaby General. Drop offs have been at the Emergency entrance. We understand that the main entrance can be used, however if you are using the Emergency entrance, we are authorized for the parking lot in that area. If you need to park long term and utilize a parking stall, Fraser Health Authority prefers you to find an available space in the parkade.
