Starting March 1, the City of St. Catharines is accepting applications for food truck and mobile vending cart operators to set up City parks and facilities.
Interested businesses can fill out an application anytime between March 1 and March 29. The application is available at stcatharines.ca/VendorPermit.
Food trucks and mobile vending carts
The policy launched in 2022 in response to resident and business requests to allow businesses to apply for a dedicated space each year. Vendors can request a specific location by suggesting it on their application form based on the criteria outlined in the policy. Parking availability and proximity to other food services will also be considered. The application process will give preference to accessible, environmentally friendly, as well as Niagara-based organizations.
Successful applicants will need to obtain their Hawkers and Peddlers Licence, a food truck and mobile vending cart park permit, plus pay an environmental fee.
The operating season is expected to run from June 1 until Sept. 30.
