Parking Agreement

Registered volunteers are given free access to the parking lot while on duty. CHEO’s Security team conducts regular audits and we want to ensure that volunteers do not lose access to this parking benefit. This is why we ask that you read through the following information and agree to abide by our parking agreement.

Responsibilities regarding CHEO ID Badge

Parking access is provided by assigning parking to your CHEO ID badge. The CHEO ID badge is the official identification card while you volunteer at CHEO.

The CHEO ID badge is issued to a volunteer under the following conditions:

• The person whose name is on the card account is responsible for all usage.
• It must be used solely for the purposes that it was issued.
• It is non-transferable.
• The CHEO ID badge, like the vest, is the property of CHEO.
• ID badges should not be worn when outside of CHEO property.
• It may be cancelled or revoked by Volunteer Resources or CHEO security.
• If the CHEO ID badge is lost or stolen, contact Volunteer Resources for deactivation, and to obtain replacement card. A replacement fee will be required.
• Upon completion of an assignment or a break in the relationship with CHEO, volunteers are required to return the ID badge to Volunteer Resources.

Unauthorized Access

Volunteers are to be accountable to park at CHEO during their allocated volunteer shift. Therefore, the ID badge with parking is not to be used when;

• Medical appointments or visits with to loved ones at either CHEO or the General Campus 
• Attending school at Ottawa university
• Employment with CHEO or the Ottawa Hospital, General Campus or Research Institutes

Volunteer Use of Parking Lot C and D
Volunteers are required to park in Lot ‘C’ or 'D' only. You can find the lots on the first map here: 

Should the parking lot be full, please contact Security via the intercom at the gate, for advice on which STAFF parking lot you may use.

Access to Parking

Entry and exit to/from this automated lot requires the use of your ID badge on the access pads. Always use your card even if the gate is up. The system has a feature that prevents the card being used without a complete transaction of exiting.  

Do not swipe any other individual in or out of the parking lot. A Volunteer ID badge is not to be used to grant anyone from leaving the parking lot – encourage any other volunteer or visitor to press the intercom button to speak with security for support.

Registration of Licence Plate Number(s)

Security requires a licence plate number on file to assign parking. Should there be a secondary car you may at times park at CHEO for your shifts, please provide the licence plate number of the secondary car as well.
