Food Truck Wednesdays to begin in Guelph, Canada

May 9, 2017

Food Truck Wednesdays will begin this week in Guelph, Canada, a weekly initiative that will run throughout the summer at the Public Health building on Chancellors Way, according to Guelph Today. Guelph City Council passed a bylaw update last fall to allow food trucks to operate more freely around town.

Ten food truck vendors are lined up to work a rotating schedule over its course; three vendors will be available on-site each Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event is open to the public and designed to encourage employees at Public Health and surrounding buildings to get outside, get active and meet their neighbors. The location offers an outdoor patio with tables, umbrellas and benches. Activities such as frisbee and bocce are planned once the weather gets nicer.

Food Truck Wednesdays was created, in part, to demonstrate positive working relationships between public health officials and vendors, said Jessica Morris, manager of health protection at Public Health, adding that there is no conflict of interest and in no way alters or affects the inspection process.
