Private lots on the Quebec side run into the same parking headaches as the ones across the river, with one extra wrinkle: the signs have to read in both languages to do their job. Ottawa Parking Enforcement handles Gatineau properties the same way we handle Ottawa ones. We put up bilingual signs that make your lot enforceable, and once they are in, we are the call you make when a vehicle parks where it should not.
We run out of our office at 1440 Prince of Wales Dr. in Ottawa, a short hop across the bridges, so reaching a Gatineau lot is rarely a problem. Call (613) 362-3362 and you will get a real person on the line.
The cost on your side is the sign installation, and that is the only part you pay up front. Once the bilingual signs are mounted, the arrangement runs on a phone call. A vehicle breaks the posted rules, you let us know, and we come remove it. There is no patrol contract running in the background and no monthly minimum, so the lot only gets attention when you actually need it.
You pay for the signage once it is up, and the enforcement after that is ours to run. That is the whole arrangement.
A sign only protects you if a driver cannot claim they did not understand it. On the Quebec side that means French and English on the same sign, worded so a tow holds up if it is ever challenged. We print and install bilingual signs at no extra cost, and we place them where every driver coming into the lot will read them before they park.
The properties we cover in Gatineau tend to look a lot like the ones in Ottawa. Condo and apartment buildings where visitor stalls get treated as overflow. Retail plazas bleeding customer spaces to people who park and walk to work. Office buildings that have simply outgrown their lots. The job does not change much between them, only how often the phone rings.
Once the signs are posted and a car ignores them, the private property towing side takes over. We match the truck to the vehicle, document the tow with photos and timestamps, and keep the whole job inside the rules so it holds up if a driver disputes it afterward.
We run this day or night. If you also manage property across the river, we cover Ottawa from the same office.
Tell us what is going on at your property and we will come walk it. You pay for the bilingual signage, and the enforcement after that is on us to handle. No long contract to sign before you see how we work.
Call (613) 362-3362Yes. Every Gatineau install is bilingual by default, French and English on the same sign, at no extra charge. On the Quebec side that wording is what keeps a tow from being challenged on the grounds that the driver did not understand the sign.
The cost on your side is the sign installation. The price tracks the size of the lot and how many signs it needs, so call (613) 362-3362 and we will quote it for your property. Once the signs are up, the enforcement is ours to handle whenever you call.
In most cases, yes. Our office sits a short drive from the bridges, so crossing into Gatineau is not the holdup people expect. Arrival time depends on where the lot is and what traffic and weather are doing, and we will give you an honest window before anyone heads out.
No. There is no patrol contract and no monthly minimum. You pay for the signage once, then call us when a vehicle is in violation. Whether that is most weeks or a few times a year is up to your lot.
