All foods prepared on site will require an Interior Health Temporary Operating Permit.

Selling packaged goods does not require a permit if it’s a non potentially hazardous food. For example, chips or cookies and other low risk foods. However, potentially hazardous foods (foods that can grow bacteria) that require cold holding/hot holding will require an Interior Health Permit as we need to know how they are storing the food safely.

Selling packaged goods made from home do not require a permit but only for lower risk foods. Higher risk foods are not allowed to be made at home and must be done in a commercial kitchen. They will require a permit.
-
Sampling Food/Coffee will require a permit. The only time coffee does not require a permit is if is black coffee.

Please bring a full cash float—market staff cannot make change or hold funds.

Why Are Food and Product/Services Vendors Treated Differently?
We’ve created two vendor categories—Product Vendors and Food Vendors—because each has very different needs and responsibilities. Product Vendors typically require a simple booth setup and don’t have to meet health or food safety regulations. Food Vendors, on the other hand, must follow strict health guidelines, carry valid permits through Interior Health, and often need special access to power, waste disposal, and specific placements to manage food service safely and effectively.
Because of these extra requirements and services, Food Vendors follow a different application process and pricing structure. It’s all designed to keep everyone safe, compliant, and set up for success.
