Currently, just two mobile food vendors have a licence to operate in the city - Japadog and a roasted chestnut stand, both at the corner of Westminster Highway and No. 3 Road.

City staff will continue to explore opportunity for mobile vendors to operate elsewhere throughout the city. Six other vendors are interested, according to staff.
