[BCMA] Food at Public Historic Events

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi there,



I am part of the Okanagan Historical Society, a non-profit society, and we
were hoping to have a fundraising BBQ and bake sale at the Father Pandosy
Mission heritage site here in Kelowna.



The other day one of our Directors said that this could not happen due to
Food Safe regulations. I was wondering if any of the museums in BC have
faced something similar? I have been to lots of events where food/ snacks
have been sold to the public without incident at historic sites. It was
indicated that to elevate the site to standard would cost too much money
and would not be feasible… We had proposed to have pre-cooked hamburgers
and hotdogs with topping on the BBQ and to have an ‘old fashioned’ bake
sale. I understand the need to have someone with Food Safe tending to the
food but do not understand the other regulations as far as washroom
facilities etc. go… The event is to be held at the end of August from
11am-3pm.



Any advice about having food at a public event at an historic site would be
greatly appreciated!



Thank you so much!

Tracy Satin
