Facility Closures, Weather-Related Parking Ban and Service Disruptions: Monday, February 2, 2026

Due to forecasted weather, please note the following impacts on City of St. John's services and facilities for Monday, February 2: 

Facilities

City facilities, including City Hall and recreation facilities, will be closed for the day on February 2. The Robin Hood Bay Waste Management Facility will remain open, however public drop off will be closed as per its regular hours of operation.

Weather-Related Parking Ban

The City is implementing the Weather-Related Parking Ban outside the Designated Downtown Area and Business District effective Monday, February 2 at 7:30 a.m.  

On-street parking is prohibited 24-hours a day until the ban is lifted. Vehicles parked on the road during this time may be ticketed or towed. 

An update will be issued to confirm when the parking ban will be lifted. Subscribe to receive updates to your email.

This parking ban is required for effective snow clearing and/or snow removal. Equipment operators can clear snow from roadways more effectively and efficiently when they do not need to maneuver around parked cars. This also reduces the need to return to clear areas where vehicles were parked. 

Waste Collection

Waste collection regularly scheduled for Monday, February 2 is cancelled. A further update will be provided tomorrow for the updated collection schedule.
