How it works

The Parking and Traffic Bylaw No. 0009 applies to all vehicles in Sun Peaks and has no separate rule for RVs, boats or trailers. On highways (roads open to the public):

  • November 1 to April 30: no parking on any highway in the municipality.
  • May 1 to October 31: no parking on the odd-numbered side of a municipal road, and none in a cul-de-sac.
  • All year: no parking on any highway longer than 36 hours, and none for camping.

Good to know

  • Commercial vehicles are barred from highways except for loading and service work.
  • Fine: a bylaw notice is $65, or $40 if paid within 14 days, for parking on a highway from November 1 to April 30, on the odd side, in a cul-de-sac, over 36 hours or for camping on a highway right-of-way.
  • On your own lot: we found no rule on storing an RV, boat or trailer or on living in an RV. Ask Bylaw Enforcement at 250-578-2020 ext. 211.
