risk’ takeLocation, Location, Location! ‘High down by RCMP New City bylaw adopted for foodtrucks and street food vendors By Kait y Brown Bulletin Staff
When it comes to restaurants, it’s all about location. But what if you could put the restaurant anywhere you want? That was under discussion at City Hall — where should food trucks be allowed to park? Robert Davidson, Chef and
Co-Owner of the Village Bistro, sent in a letter to the city concerning a proposed change to the bylaw dealing with food trucks. “I think if administered correctly, food-trucks and street vendors make for a unique and fun vibe for a municipality. My concerns have neither to do with the Special Event or Parking Stall Patio aspects of the bylaw. The problem I have with the bylaw pertains to city owned parking,” Davidson wrote in his letter to City Council. The Chef stated that one main statement was not in the
proposed bylaw - the clause that states: you must have the owner’s approval to park in front of an existing restaurant on a city street. “What is to stop a food-truck from setting up in the city provided parking stall in front on my restaurant, less than six feet from my door?” The chef also mentioned that he is not the only one that is concerned about the bylaw that a number of restaurants in Kimberley will be affected. “I propose that the City set up zones or issued parking spaces where the food-truck/
street vendors may set up,” he wrote. “Where the spots are, should be done in consultation with nearby affected businesses.” Mayor Ron McRae explains however that the new bylaw change will actually make foodtruck and street food vendors easy to regulate by giving them guidelines of what is allowed and not allowed. In the bylaw previously, the Mayor explains that the regulation was not clear and so the change makes the guidelines more clear. See LOCATION, page 3

Early in the morning of June 27, Cranbrook RCMP executed a highrisk take down. The arrest took place just after 6 a.m. Police were acting on information from Lacombe Police Service in Alberta, and arrested a man for weapons related offences on Cranbrook Street North at the intersection with Victoria Avenue North. The male was arrested without incident and is in custody pending further
direction from Lacombe Police Service and Red Deer RCMP. The subject from Alberta was alleged to have been involved in a theft of firearms on June 23 in Lacombe. There was intelligence that the subject may have a handgun in his a possession, hence the high-risk take down. No firearms were found upon arrest. Agencies in Alberta are continuing their investigation to locate the firearms.
