As the city filed it

Vicky Mantis has been the operator and Sidewalk Vending Permit holder of a hotdog cart on the south side of Bremner Boulevard, 15.3 metres west of York Street for many years. This business has been the main source of their family income. Sadly, Vicky, mother of three, recently passed away and her family has been grieving the loss. Since her passing, her children's caregivers are seeking to have the permit transferred to them to allow them to continue supporting her family as this hotdog cart is their main source of income.

However, there is a current moratorium in place which does not allow applications for a Sidewalk Vending Permit to vend refreshments and/or vehicles from a non-motorized vehicle. COVID-19 has added immense financial pressures to families, particularly to those who rely on these types of businesses which are somewhat precarious in nature, and given that this is the family's main income they cannot afford to lose it. This Motion is urgent because if the permit is not transferred as soon as possible, they will be unable to operate the street vending unit and continue losing income needed to support the family.
