You'd better feed the parking meters in Lunenburg on Saturdays or risk getting a ticket.

The popular tourist destination had not been enforcing metered parking on Saturdays — by popular demand — but that has now changed, officials said Tuesday.

Stickers on the town's 200 parking meters had stated enforcement was only in place five days a week, Monday to Friday. Those have been replaced to accurately represent the town's parking bylaw, the mayor of Lunenburg said.

"There is no change in policy. The bylaw is the same," said Rachel Bailey.

She said the changeover has been taking place since the spring. A public meeting is being scheduled for August so residents can have a voice in whether parking bylaws in the town need an overhaul.

"The philosophy isn't to punish people. It is to ensure there is access to parking, particularly during busy times," Bailey said.

She acknowledged the town only has bylaw enforcement officers on duty for a total of 37 hours a week, so being ticketed isn't a given.

She said RCMP officers are also able to ticket cars.
