Got a parking fine? One city is letting residents pay with food

Friday, December 2, 2016
INNISFIL, Canada (KTRK) -- If you hate forking over cash to cover your parking tickets, one city is offering residents a chance to give back with their fines.

The Ontario town of Innisfil is allowing residents to pay for their parking tickets by donating toys, gift cards or non-perishable food items. Residents can bring the items to Innisfil's town hall until December 9.

This is the second time the town has allowed residents to make a charitable donation instead of using cash to pay a parking fine. Last year, the "Scrooge the Ticket" campaign gathered more than a hundred items made up of toys, chocolates, cookies and gift cards for the cause.

This year, residents who haven't received tickets can also donate, according to the Innisfil Journal.
