There are new rules regarding food trucks in Lachute.
On Monday, June 3, the Lachute City Council adopted rules that will only allow food trucks on city property during events and festivals. City Council approval is still required to permit food trucks at each event or festival. Food truck operators must pay a $250 fee for a permit to operate at each public event. Permits are not required for food trucks on private property or events held by non-profit organizations.
