Temporary Outdoor Patio and Retail Space

In Fall 2020, the Town of Vermilion approved a ‘Temporary Outdoor Patio and Retail Space Program’. With the Government of Alberta returning to Step 1 of its COVID-19 Public Health Plan including, effective April 9 at 12:00pm, the restriction of indoor in-person service at restaurants, pubs, bars, lounges, cafes and food courts.  Outdoor patios are still permitted, however with some restrictions. The Town of Vermilion is working with local restaurants through our Patio program to ensure that those hoping to incorporate outdoor patios can do so. Information on permitting for this program can be obtained through the Infrastructure & Planning department at 780-581-2415.
