There are new rules about food trucks in Lachute.
On Monday, June 3, Lachute council adopted a regulation which only allows food trucks on municipal property at events and festivals. Approval of food trucks at each event or festival will still require the approval of council. Food truck operators will have to pay a fee of $250 for a permit to operate at each public event. No permits are required for food trucks on private property or for events held by not-for-profit organizations.
