As warmer summer months draw near, The City of Red Deer is accepting applications for its seasonal patio program.
Downtown businesses are encouraged to apply for a seasonal patio, which allows restaurants and entertainment venues to expand their floor space during the summer months.
“We’re pleased to be able to continue this program, which enables downtown businesses to increase their operating capacity while adhering to public health restrictions,” said Bobby-Jo Stannard, Community Development Superintendent. “These patios also add to vibrancy of the downtown core which is very positive to see.”
Business owners who submit an application for a seasonal patio are required to ensure their patio design meets building codes, and to ensure compliance with all public health orders and restrictions. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring hand sanitizer is available for patrons, and that physical distancing is maintained.
