Parking break

Last month, real estate services company Colliers International reported the median rate for monthly unreserved parking in Vancouver was $224.00 or $2,688 per year. But the Legal Services Society of British Columbia, the non-profit organization which provides legal aid in this province, gives four of its five top-paid executives a $4,704 "parking benefit." The society hasn't yet responded to repeated inquiries as to why that benefit is so much higher than the median rate.
