Application for food vendors
We know that many parents and families are fundraising for Provincials and Treaties, and we want to support them in doing so safely. If you’re selling food as part of your fundraising efforts, it’s important to follow proper food handling guidelines to keep everyone safe.
Key Requirements for Temporary Food Vendors:
Event organizers must notify Environmental Public Health Services at least two weeks in advance. Luckily, our Environmental Health Officer will ensure that permits are processed in a timely manner when they are submitted.
Vendors must have proper flooring, handwashing stations, and waste disposal systems. Perishable food must be stored below 4°C or above 60°C, and home-prepared foods or wild game are not allowed. Food contact surfaces must be cleaned and sanitized regularly, and food handlers should practice good hygiene.

Calgary Office: (403) 292-6154
