'City of White Rock' -- they have a number of lots they manage and administer

and "WestPark" -- https://www.westpark.com/
WestPark exist, or requested by someone without a reply here.
I'm a little hesitant about "City of White Rock" as they have only 3 locations, and it doesn't make them to be a significant operator to be listed in my mind.

If I remember correctly each location had a name. I would just use it's name. If the name is not significant, use the address, as per the wiki.

Canada Wide Parking Inc.

Compark

Also ... City of London owns and manages numerous lots around the city's core. I'm not sure if it would qualify for the list or not.
The goal is not to increase the list of parking providers, so I would suggest to include in the list only providers that manage a handful of lots. What is the right number to consider them being significant will be a good question and maybe deserve a separate discussion. Before requesting to add new providers, it is good to get the order of magnitude of the parking providers.
No issue to add cities to the list, if they operates their own lots, but to determine this we need to see some reference to how many lots the city operates. Street parking isn't considered a lot.

Among the 3 providers requested in this post, I will submit a request to ass Compark. The other two, need further info to determine eligibility.

I will add the City of London.
If you couldn't find information about Canada Wide Parking Inc. I doubt you will see the information when you map the parking in WME.

I thought of a much bigger number than half a dozen.

With no limits we will easily get an endless list of operators, where many of them may be operating a negligible number of lots.
Same story as Gas Stations, where independent operators should not get a listing of their own.

On another topic related to parking lots, I really dislike a couple of aspects of the current setup. Parking lots associated with a store are set to restricted, which means that they don't appear in suggested parking. This then means that if there is public parking in the area, that lot is suggested rather than the store parking. I understand that at some point parking will be linked to the business which should solve the issue, and I guess is coming soon...

The other aspect is large lots (above 20000m2) have their lot name displayed in the client, which looks terrible and in some cases the lot is associated with a point place, so again, looks terrible in the client.

Wouldn't it be better to have the client behavior change to show both Public and Restricted lots? If everything is changed to Public, what is the need for Restricted? Obviously the alternative would be to remove Restricted as a lot type all together and only have Public and Private.
