The City of North Vancouver’s new Mobile Food Services Pilot Program kicks off this weekend with Teriyaki Boys Food Truck at The Shipyards this Sunday, July 3, 11 am to 10 pm.
CNV is embarking on a new pilot program that aims to encourage the growing food truck industry – particularly in places where food options are limited. The pilot will allow food trucks and food carts to operate at 16 locations in the City starting in early June.
Running until October 30, the pilot program simplifies the application process and opens up new opportunities for food trucks and carts, both in numbers and locations.
“People love food trucks,” said Mayor Linda Buchanan. “Over the past 20 years the demand for mobile food services has risen sharply, and our policies haven’t kept pace. That’s why the City is moving forward with a pilot program that will create new economic opportunities as well as new lunch options for hungry people. This pilot will add vibrancy to the community and create new ways to socialize and connect with neighbours.”
The program also allows for food carts and food trucks to apply to locate on private property for special events.
