Several members of the Lennoxville Curling Club have received tickets for parking in the lot directly in front of the club. With the Pie Bonspiel, one of the club’s biggest events of the season underway, members are worried visiting spectators and curlers who try to park in front of the club, as they did in the past without issue, will get a $33 parting gift. The parking lot is the property of the Eastern Townships School Board, but is leased to the CIUSSS de l’Estrie-CHUS for staff and clients of the CLSC, which has an office at the back of Lennoxville Elementary School on Speid Street. Parking has always been at a premium in that part of town. There is a municipal lot across the street from the curling club, often occupied by staff from St. Antoine Elementary School who don’t have sufficient parking of their own. There is a second municipal parking lot beside the Florist shop at the corner of Queen and Speid. Parking is not permitted on Speid near the club. The other spaces nearby belong to Provigo. Until recently, curlers had been parking in the spaces, specifically those directly in front of the curling club, without issue. See full story in the Tuesday, March 20th edition of The Record.
