❄️ Winter Weather Advisory ❄️

For consistency and safety, our clinic follows McMaster University’s closure decisions during winter weather.

If the University announces a closure, all in-person appointments will be converted to phone appointments. Patients will be contacted by our staff on the day of their appointment, and the phone visit will take place at the same scheduled time.

Please note that no staff will be in the office, and clinic phone lines will not be monitored.

⚠️ For urgent matters, call 905-546-9885 and press 1 to speak with our on-call physician.

If you wish to make an appointment for another day, please book online at https://mcmaster.cortico.ca/book/

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Parking Update

The DBHSC surface parking lot is using the HonkMobile parking system for a trial period.

Here’s what you need to know:

* There are no changes to underground parking. Patients who use the underground parking garage at DBHSC can still receive discounted rates. Bring your parking slip to your appointment to validate it.

* There are no discounted rates for the outdoor surface lot.

* During the HonkMobile trial, gates to the surface lot will be kept open. However, you still need to pay for parking.

* If you park in the surface lot, you must use the HONK app to pay. This app is available through the Apple App Store or Google Play.

McMaster Family Practice does not manage or control parking. If you have questions or need help, contact McMaster Parking Services at 905-525-9140 ext. 24232 or parking@mcmaster.ca. Additionally, there will be an attendant available onsite to assist you.

Thank you for your patience as we trial this new system.
