The first day of summer is fast approaching, calling for longer nights, cold drinks, and of course patios!

To accommodate Covid-19 social distancing rules, the City of Vancouver's temporary expedited patio permit program will support businesses and customers alike in the transition back into regular activities. Applications between June 1 to October 31, 2020 will allow for free temporary patio permits to increase dining space and enjoyment of facilities.
