Summary
In adopting 2014.LS27.1 - New Opportunities for Toronto Street Food, Toronto City Council recommended as follows:
"City Council, to encourage new small business entrepreneurs, authorize the appropriate Community Council, at the request of the local ward Councillor, to designate a particular street vending location for entrepreneurs introducing new products, or variations of products, as identified by the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture."
In May, 2022 an innovative City project to support new and diverse food entrepreneurs will be officially launched at 5210 Yonge St. The use of a food cart on the Yonge Street to showcase some of the menu items being sold in the FLIP Kitchens will assist in creating awareness of the program.
