VCH electric vehicle charging stations

Designated electric vehicle charging stations are available for staff, medical staff, patients and visitors at VCH hospitals.

Parking exemptions

To ensure parking fees do not create a barrier to access for patients and visitors, parking exemptions are available to people who meet the B.C. Ministry of Health criteria: patients who are receiving dialysis treatment or undergoing cancer treatment in acute care, parents or guardians of children staying in hospital overnight, and patients experiencing financial hardships.

Patients and visitors who are eligible for exempt parking can register their license plate number through the Off-Street platform using the QR code available at their unit/department, or in-person at their unit/department. Their license plate number will be validated and upfront payment is not required. 

Please note the option to pay upfront and be reimbursed will no longer be available after May 1, 2025.
