Parking at Temple Har Zion

Limited parking is available on the THZ parking lot. If you do not find a spot on our lot then please drive to the rear of the lot. Here you will see a short roadway that connects the THZ property to the parking lot of the Ja'ffari Islamic Centre. Usually, you will be able to park on this lot, just as members of the Ja'ffari Centre are allowed to park at THZ.  When worship or an event occurs at the Ja'ffari Islamic Centre, parking for THZ will not be available. If you do not find a parking spot at either THZ or the Islamic Centre, then you are advised to look for on-street parking on neighbouring streets, particularly in the area to the northeast of THZ. Do not park on Bayview Avenue.
