[BCMA] Food at Public Historic Events

Talk to your local public health person at your local health authority. They will be able to provide you with the information about what is required. Most of the steps you would need are reasonable and are common sense.

Subject: [BCMA] Food at Public Historic Events

 

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

Okanagan Historical Society
