Business in Callander

The 2023 Strategic Plan for the Municipality of Callander supports and encourages small businesses and tourism. As part of this initiative, Council made it a priority this year to modify restrictive by-laws, including the Outdoor Vendor By-law, to better encourage more small businesses to grow in Callander. This By-law has now been passed. Some important modifications that were made by Council include:

• A better process and more opportunities to acquire an outdoor vendor permit,
• Increased allowances for outdoor patios and sidewalk sales,
• The ability for mobile food carts to operate in the downtown core,
• The ability for businesses to host food trucks on their commercial premises,
• The ability for farmers’ markets to run in Callander.
