Eligible establishments include restaurants, taverns and other eating and drinking establishments, as well as micro-breweries. The application  process will be administered by the Haldimand County Economic Development and Tourism (EDT) Division. Prior to submission, applicants are encouraged to contact EDT staff to review their application at 905-318-5932 ext. 6315 or opportunity@haldimandcounty.on.ca.

The Public Patio Application can be found HERE. If you are looking to open a patio on private property please contact our office so we can review your site specific requirements.

Haldimand County is growing the local economy and contributing to ongoing community vibrancy with the establishment of this program. This program is intended to be flexible in granting permission to commercial establishments for the use of County Property for seasonal patios. The program will consider various types of patios that make use of sidewalks (or other municipal property that isn’t the traveled portion of a roadway including alleyways) as well the use of parking spots. It is intended that seasonal patios on municipal property will be granted for establishments located in the defined downtown areas and community improvement project areas. Commercial areas and hamlets can also be considered.
