Food Trucks Get Greenlight

At the Regular Meeting on June 13, 2023, Lakeshore Council approved a Zoning By-law amendment to permit food trucks throughout the municipality.

“As a Council, we look forward to seeing the fruits of this tasty decision in effect,” said Mayor Tracey Bailey. “Residents and visitors alike can expect to enjoy even more culinary creations this summer!”

Under the amended Zoning By-law, food trucks are permitted on all private property. In residential areas, the vehicles will need the consent of the property owner and only be allowed to operate for up to 24 hours.

The accompanying report noted that Lakeshore staff will monitor the impact of food trucks and report issues to Council in the future. If required, additional recommendations, such as licensing and enforcement, will be reviewed and provided to Council for consideration.
