Council adopts new policy allowing food trucks and mobile vending carts to operate seasonally on City property.
Food trucks and mobile vending carts in St. Catharines can now apply for permits to operate seasonally on City property.
On Monday, council passed a notion in support of the move, in response to requests from residents and businesses.
"This new initiative allows us to support businesses who have experienced incredible hardship over the past two years while also enhancing the experience of residents at our parks and facilities," said Manager of Business Planning and Strategic Services Eric Lamothe. "It’s an excellent opportunity for businesses to connect with new customers and for residents to explore new tastes and activities as they get back out and about to enjoy amenities throughout the city."
Interested businesses can fill out an application here until July 18th.
Successful applicants will need to obtain their Hawkers and Peddlers License, a food truck and mobile vending cart park permit and pay an environmental fee.
The operating season is expected to run until September 30th.
