Got a parking ticket?   Pay with a toy! 

CHILLIWACK – The City of Chilliwack is once again accepting toys and gift card donations as payment for parking tickets. 

Tickets issued between July 17 and December 10, 2026, that have a number beginning with either PX or P0 are eligible for the Toys for Tickets program. 

The toys and gift cards are once again going to the Chilliwack Community Services Toy Drive. 

According to a City of Chilliwack news release, the items must be unwrapped, in original packaging, of equal or greater value than the parking ticket(s) and are accompanied by the purchase receipt. 

“We are pleased to be able to offer this program again this year, in support of Chilliwack Community Services,” said Mayor Lum. “No one enjoys getting a parking ticket, but this is a good opportunity to turn your fine into something festive and make this holiday season more magical for a family in need.” 

Toys and gift cards will be accepted as payment at City Hall at 8550 Young Road until December 10, 2026, during regular business hours. (Mon-Fri 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.) 

This marks the third year for the program.     

Last year, 37 tickets were paid for with donations, resulting in over 170 items valued at close to $2,500.
