How to submit a report
The fastest way to report a violation is through the Wrenford 311 portal. You can also call 311 from a Wrenford phone or 519-555-0100 from outside the city. In-person reports are accepted at the Service Wrenford counter, Room 100, Wrenford City Hall, 100 Mercer Street.
When you report, please have the following ready:
- The exact street address or nearest intersection
- The vehicle's licence plate number and province of registration
- The type of violation and how long the vehicle has been there
- A clear photo of the vehicle showing the plate and its position relative to signs or hydrants

What happens after you report
By-law officers review all submissions during standard business hours. You will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number. Our team typically reviews reports within three business days. If an officer confirms the violation, they will issue a ticket or a warning to the registered owner. You will not receive details about enforcement actions, but your report helps keep our streets safe and accessible.
Fees and fines
Penalties for parking violations are set out in the Traffic and Parking By-law 2014-075. Fines vary depending on the offence, ranging from $45.00 for minor time-limit violations to $250.00 for serious infractions like blocking a fire hydrant or a driveway.
