With the cost of parking at White Rock's hospital, you're better off at a restaurant, this writer says

Editor,

Re: 'Nutritious' $5 meals coming to Peace Arch Hospital for seniors

At Peace Arch Hospital, daytime (6 AM to 6 PM) parking costs $10.25, evenings cost $5.25, and a 24-hour rate is $15.25. A 1-week permit costs $45, while there are also options for longer-term permits. 

Your $4.99 meal now becomes no bargain.  You're better off going to a restaurant and paying $15 and getting enough to take home for the next day.
