Parking
During the Games there will be a lot of activity in the area, which may lead to traffic congestion at times. It is also expected that parking in the area of St. John's campus will be in high demand. To help reduce congestion around campus during the Games, Memorial University and the Canada Games Host Society are working together on a traffic management and parking plan for August 2025. Parking updates can be found below, with updates on traffic management to be provided at a later date.
