The Sunnyside Parking Garage is one of two main parking lots at the St. Joseph’s. It is currently undergoing necessary repairs. We want to make sure the garage stays open during repairs, so we are doing this work in phases. This means a few spots will be closed at a time. During this time we encourage patients and visitors to use alternate means to commute to the hospital such as transit or drop-offs. If you plan to drive, below is some information which we hope you find useful to navigating your visit. Thank you and we appreciate your support.
As we continue to repair the ramps within the Sunnyside Parking Garage, please account for more time as it will be a bit slower entering and exiting the garage. We encourage patients and visitors to park on the lower levels of the garage. Your support and patience is appreciated.
To date 186 spots have been repaired and reopened and 2775 ft2 of concrete have been repaired. The repairs are expected to continue through the winter and into the New Year. Currently approx. 6 spots are still closed.
- Jan. 20 – Apr. 11th: Ramp repairs ongoing within the garage. Two out of four ramps will be open. Traffic lights are active on each level to direct timed interval two way traffic on the ramps, with flagmen at the garage entrances and various levels, and signage in and around the garage. Note that the north entrance will be open for exit as usual, but only open for entry to the basement. Please account for more time as it will be a bit slower entering and exiting the garage.
For your safety, please respect the signs and caution tape within the garage that indicate closures. It is not safe to park in these spots while work is ongoing. Parking in these spots may also prevent work from taking place which could extend construction.
Alternate, public parking:
An offsite, public parking option exists on Lakeshore Rd. that is not affiliated with the hospital. More details can be found here.
- Location: 1575 Lake Shore Blvd. W. (Green P lot)
- Walking Distance: Approximately 10-15 minutes to the hospital via Lakeshore pedestrian bridge
- Cost: Free 6 a.m. – 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday
Who we are
We are home to a nationally recognized surgical services program that is a valuable resource at the regional and provincial level. We are home to highly specialized care programs in bariatrics, thoracic and hepatobiliary surgery and more.
We are creating a new kind of community academic hospital – one that embraces innovation, AI, and the latest technologies to create the best possible care experiences. With over $1-billion commitment from Ontario, our new tower will have two floors dedicated to mental health care, 13 new operating rooms, a reimagined ED and more.
We provide high quality care to people living with mental illness, addictions and other major life obstacles. Our interprofessional teams seek to treat patients with dignity and respect while providing them with options to meet their diverse and complex needs.
We offer compassionate, quality care to all in need – a tradition instilled by our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto more than 100 years ago. We affirm the inherent dignity, worth and equality of every human being in our care, education and research.
We offer the growing west end community the best possible care experience at every life stage, from our paediatric walk-in and emergency services, to leading mental health and addictions, seniors and palliative care programs and more. We are the emergency department for southwest Toronto caring for adults and children.

Keeping Our Site Clean
St. Joseph’s is located in the heart of Roncesvalles, just steps from some of the city’s most vibrant residential and commercial streets. Whether you’re visiting the site to work, learn, receive care or visit a loved one, it’s important that we treat the site and community with kindness and respect. One way to do this is by keeping the neighbourhood clean. Please be mindful of your garbage and dispose of the following items properly:
- Cigarette butts go in cigarette butt disposals on City of Toronto garbage cans
- Masks and gloves go in garbage bins
- Pop cans go in recycling bins
- Organic waste should be placed in compost bins
Thank you for helping us keep Unity Health and our surrounding neighbourhoods clean. To learn more about how to dispose of various materials, please use the Waste Wizard on the City of Toronto website.
