Toys for Tickets

The City of Hamilton is excited to announce the launch of the Toys for Tickets pilot program, running from December 2 to 6, 2024. This initiative gives residents the opportunity to pay their parking tickets by donating new, unwrapped toys equal to or greater in value than their ticket fines. All donations will support local families through United Way Halton and Hamilton, helping to make the holiday season brighter for children in need.

How it works

• If you receive a parking ticket from the City of Hamilton, that is valid and payable between December 2 and 6, 2024, you can resolve your fine during this time by donating a toy of equal or greater value than your ticket amount.
• The toy must be new, unwrapped, and in its original packaging. You must provide the toy's purchase receipt as proof of value.
• Donations can be dropped off at 80 Main St W (at Summers Lane) between 8:30 am and 4 pm from December 2 to 6, 2024. Toy donations for parking tickets will not be accepted before or after this timeframe.
• Please note that this program applies only to parking tickets issued by the City of Hamilton. Other types of fines (such as speeding or red-light violations) are not eligible.

Make a difference this holiday season

By participating in this program, you can resolve your parking ticket while bringing joy to a child in our community. All toy donations will go directly to United Way Halton and Hamilton, ensuring they reach families who need them most.
