At Parking BOXX, we get calls from all types of industries asking about our parking equipment: from retail, to university campuses, hospitals, and campgrounds. But we have to admit: it’s not every day we get a phone call from a hit television show asking to feature a parking machine , our parking payment machine in a murder mystery show. Much to our surprise, that’s exactly what happened when Private Eyes , Global’s hit television series slated to return come spring 2019, reached out. Now on its third season, the show follows the antics of Matt Shade and Angie Everett. He’s an ex-professional Hockey player, she’s a no-nonsense P.I. They join forces to solve mysteries every week with equal parts wit and humor. Filmed and set in Toronto, the show has a refreshing take on the city—it embraces its nooks and crannies, the glamour as much as the grit, which makes for a fun and authentic portrayal of this vibrant Canadian city. But to the more pressing question: why would the show, unless it’s building a state-of-the-art parking facility, contact us about parking equipment? As with any good mystery show, the puzzle is always solved by a leap in thought: something about the environment tips the detectives off, and through a series of mental maneuvers, they decipher who the culprit is, catch the bad guy, and restore justice. Viewers are left satisfied until a new mystery takes centre stage the following week. Season three, like the other two before it, will be rife with mysteries and suspense at every corner of Matt and Angie’s journey. As it turns out, Private Eyes will not be building the parking garage of our dreams anytime soon. Instead, this upcoming season, Parking BOXX’s very own parking machine will act as the key to one of its mysteries, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see what the writers come up with. Stay tuned to catch us on the small screen.
At Parking BOXX we care about people. We care about providing you with the best and most responsive Support that the parking industry has to offer. We care about our employees, about fostering professional and personal growth in order to bring our best selves forward. But we don’t stop there. We can’t, in fact, because we know that surrounding each member of our Team are groups of people that help the personal growth process in ways that we can’t. This is why we like to get involved with causes that affect our community—particularly those that affect our Team members’ friends and families. This quarter, the Team at Parking BOXX culled their efforts to raise funds for Diabetes Canada by donating clothing, accessories, and household items. The collection drive was spearheaded by Shannon, our Social Media and Marketing Specialist who is also our charity-drive organizing superstar. She took the time to educate the Team, set up reminders at company offices, and motivated everyone to participate. Behind this goal was the desire to support a cause that affected various members of our Team. “A couple of co-workers have family and friends that have diabetes,” she said, “My best friend also has diabetes. Diabetes is one of those illnesses that create radical changes to your life. And it doesn’t just affect the person who has it. It affects the whole family.” According to Diabetes Canada, 5.7 million Canadians over the age of twenty are affected by diabetes. Along with the immediate effects of the illness, like having to regulate one’s diet and glucose levels, having diabetes comes with other lifestyle changes. Thirty percent of people with diabetes, for example, experience depressive symptoms. In support of the cause, our Team donated everything from clothes, pots and pans, jewelry and hats. Diabetes Canada partners up with Value Village to sell these donations and raise money for various diabetes-related causes. Part of the money goes towards funding diabetes research in Canada, which has always been exceptional. After all, insulin, the protein associated with diabetes, was first discovered by Frederick Banting and Charles H. Best in Toronto. Part of the proceeds also go towards funding D-camps— camps tailored for kids with type 1 diabetes. Thanks to Shannon’s organizational skills, our Team rounded up enough items to fill seven large boxes —boxes big enough fit our parking kiosks! She made the giving process convenient, which often deters people from donating altogether. As one of our employees put it, “The initiative was fantastic. I have lots of clothes and I was very eager to bring them in to the office and have them taken. This is a very easy way to be a charitable good person”. Organizing these types of charitable drives are and easy way to bring the Team together while making valuable and important contributions to the community. We congratulate Shannon and our Team for making this drive such a success and look forward to the next one.

Parking control equipment allows parking lot and garage owners and managers to restrict access to their lot as well as generate revenue. Parking control systems improve security, restrict vehicle access to specified areas, track who entered these specific areas, when they enter and exit, allow passback restrictions to be set, generate revenue, and provide reporting capabilities. When parking gate systems are utilized, this allows the system to control the entry and exit lanes of the facility or lot. Specific entrances may permit only proximity or long range card holders to enter. Public entrances may incorporate such readers as well as ticket printing or pre-paid entry. For persons receiving tickets upon entry, parking payments may be made at walk-up Pay Stations or upon exiting the lot. Exit lanes may incorporate Exit Stations with credit/debit card only payments, cash and credit/debit payment or Cashier Stations. Importantly, barrier gates secure all laneways to ensure that only valid card or credential holders or paid ticket holders are granted permission to leave as well as to prevent unauthorized ingress or egress. In addition to the above mentioned lane way equipment and payment terminals, Validation and Hotel Guest Check in Terminals may be incorporated to enhance the automated parking control system.
