Today, Mayor John Tory announced that the City of Toronto street food vendors, food trucks and ice cream trucks can resume operations just in time for this year’s summer vending season.

Street food vending and food trucks allow for a broad range of food in Toronto that is safe, healthy, affordable and culturally diverse.

For everyone’s safety, all operators are required  to adhere to physical distancing requirements for the public and provide proper health and safety measures for their staff. Residents visiting street food vendors, food or ice cream trucks should maintain a distance of two metres or six feet from others while waiting in line. Food is for take away and can be enjoyed at home or in the park.

More information for street food vendors, food truck and ice cream truck operators can be found on the City’s Food Trucks, Food Carts & Ice Cream Trucks page at https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/permits-licences-bylaws/food-trucks-food-carts-ice-cream-trucks/.

“Toronto’s street food vendors and food trucks are an integral part of our city’s vibrant food scene. I’m thrilled that they can now safely resume operations and continue to grow their businesses while providing more choice and convenience to Torontonians.”
