NHL Heritage Classic 2026 and UM Parking Oct 21-27, 2026

Monday October 19, 2026 — Princess Auto Stadium at the University of Manitoba is hosting the NHL’s Heritage Classic hockey game on Sunday October 25. As part of the festivities, a Fan Fest will be held in a portion of U Lot.

To support the setup and tear-down of that event, a section of U lot (highlighted in blue below) will be closed from 6:00 p.m. on October 21 until 7:00 a.m. on October 27. All vehicles should be clear of this area before 6:00 p.m. on October 21.

As a result, the casual parking section of U lot, and some student permit holder stalls will be closed.

Casual Parking Options

Casual parking is available in many locations across campus including SD lot at the Soccer Complex (highlighted in yellow below), ALC, Q, ACW, AC lot and the parkade. A free campus shuttle operates through SD Lot from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., providing transportation across campus. To help minimize delays and improve service during this period, an additional shuttle will be added. See the shuttle bus route here.

We understand this temporary change may be inconvenient and sincerely appreciate your patience, flexibility, and cooperation.

U Lot Permit Holders

All U lot permit holders, please check your email for permit holder specific instructions during this time.

If you have any questions about parking arrangements during this period, please contact us at parking@umanitoba.ca.
 

All parking permits for the 2026 Fall Term have now been sold. Students who wish to obtain a parking permit may add their name to the waitlist through the Parking Portal. From the main page, select "View Your Waitlists",and then click "Add Waitlist."

Students residing on campus must contact our office at studentparking@umanitoba.ca to apply for a student residence parking permit. Confirmation of residence student status will be required as part of the application process.

Removing ParkMobile as payment option on July 1, 2026

Effective July 1, Parkmobile will no longer be available as a payment method at the University of Manitoba.  

We are continuing to offer Honk Mobile, and will be adding PayByPhone to our campuses this summer so that visitors to UM will still have a choice when it comes to how they pay for visitor parking.

Services we provide

Permit sharing and carpooling

Permit sharing

Share your virtual permit by adding another person's vehicle to your permit and alternating the permits use between vehicles. Our office will continue to debit the permit owner's account and the responsibility to share the cost and usage rests with the customers linked to the permit. If there is more than 1 vehicle on campus using the same virtual permit, both are at risk to be ticketed.

If you have an active student or staff parking permit, you can add additional drivers and vehicles to your permit at no additional charge. Log into the Parking Portal to add other vehicles to your permit. 

Electric vehicle charging on campus

University of Manitoba community members who drive electric vehicles (EV’s) now have more charging options on Fort Garry campus.
