With the changes to business operations due to the result of Covid, the City of Vancouver has received 46 applications from businesses looking to open up temporary patios under a new program that just launched.
The program expires in October, and is aimed at helping businesses that either closed or operated in a limited capacity over the last few months and are now trying to recover revenue losses sustained from the pandemic.
The City waived fees they would normally charge, which can run up to $3,000 per year. It has also promised a two-day turnaround for businesses who apply online.
Below are 14 of the restaurants who have so far been approved for temporary patios, just in time for summer. As there have been 46 applications, expect this list to get longer (ie. we know that Como Taperia is in the process to get theirs approved asap!)
