Dimmed indeed must be the sense of appreciation of him whose heart is not thrilled with
the natural picturesque grandeur, the unrivalled location and strategic importance of
the princely city on the shores of Thunder Bay, the Gibraltar of the Canadian West

They named the one in the south ward the Victoriaville Parkade so I am assuming that's where Vid gets the terminology from. It is also known as a parking garage. It's like Kleenex is actually facial tissue. You get the idea.
It's a Canadianism, and the Heart of the Harbour Parkade is also called a parkade. It's a portmanteau of park and arcade, though I don't understand how it relates to arcades other than you have to pay for it. (A toonie on exit )
