Submit the Application for Temporary Food Permit to the Environmental Health

FOODSAFE is mandatory. A minimum of two people per group involved with food
must have FOODSAFE certification, and at least one of those people must be at your
booth
at all times with their certificate prominently displayed.We remind you that the
Health Officer will be attending Seafest activities.

Failure to have a minimum of two certified people per booth will result in removal of
your food booth.

You must provide copies of your FOODSAFE certificates when paying the vendor fee.
Locations are allotted on a first-come first-served basis with your paid fee, after April
1st.

NOTE: Downtown businesses are open as usual before, during and after Seafest.
Vendors must speak with the merchants that they are in front of
before Seafest
weekend to address the merchants concerns. Your booth must not interfere with
access to the businesses. Any valid complaints could result in immediate vendor
dismissal.
Vendor fee is $150.00 per day; student groups will pay a $100.00 per day fee. In
addition, Prince Rupert Special Events Society will be collecting a $150.00 cleanup
deposit cheque per food vendor. This deposit must be left at the time of registration or
your location cannot be secured. If you are using a generator and it is too noisy, we will
relocate you or require you to use electricity. If you require electricity and if we can
provide it, an additional $40.00 per day fee is applicable
Each vendor is entitled to an area no larger than 15'x6'. Your equipment (barbeques,
grills, tables, etc.) must not exceed the space allotted. If you do exceed your allotted
space you will be charged with additional, appropriate fees.

Each vendor is responsible to keep clean the entire city block that they are located
on. Please work with your vendor neighbours on your entire block to make sure you are
keeping the area clean, as we do not have City paid crews to clean up.
You must
provide at least two 40 gallon size garbage containers for the public to use.
The
garbage containers must be at the front of your tables, on the street or sidewalk. You
must empty them continuously, as well as assign your volunteers to keep your block
clean, throughout the day.

This will be monitored throughout the day, and your block including the street will be
assessed for litter-free. A garbage dumpster will be available behind City Hall to
dispose of the garbage.

If a vendor does not comply, Prince Rupert Special Events Society will retain the
vendor's $150.00 deposit to pay for the cleanup.

Vendors must supply their own equipment and materials. All equipment, merchandise
and displays are erected and left at owner's risk. All barbeques must have extra wide
and extra thick cardboard mats under them to catch the grease spatters.

The Seafest Vendor Permit is valid only during Seafest 2010 on the dates paid for on
the
Seafest Vendor's Permit Application. Anyone wishing to set up a booth at other
times must contact City Hall and obtain the necessary business license.
