A new food truck program that will see vendors touring locations in Saanich kicks off on July 1, Canada Day.
Sixteen different food trucks will rotate through Beckwith, Cadboro-Gyro and Gorge Waterway Parks until September 8.
The program was approved by Saanich council on April 26. Depending on how the program goes, it could return in 2022.
“The pilot program will be an exciting—and tasty—addition to our parks this summer,” said Councillor Judy Brownoff.
“We’re happy to have a number of local entrepreneurs just starting out as well as seasoned veterans. I can’t wait to see our residents enjoying their treats in our wonderful parks.”
The participating vendors for the pilot program include:
- To Go Food Service
- Puerto Vallarta Amigos
- Holy Cow Mini Donuts
- Owen’s Ice Cream
- Freshcoast Health Food Bar
- Spice Aid – Operation BBQ
- Cup-a-Roni
- Quadra Village Community Centre Food Truck
- Elements Ice Cream
- Candytime Concession
- SS Floats
- Kattia’s Kitchen Authentic Mexican
- Sassy Thai Café
- Greek on the Street
- BeaverTails Pastry
- Picnique Beatnique
The vendors will set their own operating hours, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Currently, a draft schedule posted to the District of Saanich website shows the dates for different vendors, but not individual times.
Further details on the schedule will be made available in coming days, with the first schedule due to arrive by June 30. Some will vendors will also post their schedules on the street food app.
