CALGARY — Calgary is the new home of a food truck pilot project, which was launched last week by Calgary city officials, YYC Food Trucks, Tourism Calgary and the Downtown Calgary Association.
“Our goal is to understand what needs to be done — together — to best regulate and recognize food trucks as an industry in Calgary over the long term,” said a city rep, of the program that will feature everything from burgers, to pizza and gelato.Food truck vendors will need to get a valid business licence; meet the health, fire, insurance and code requirements; and receive a special permit to operate on street locations throughout Calgary.
