Outdoor patio program ends

LEAMINGTON – The Municipality of Leamington has discontinued its temporary outdoor patio program as a result of the provincial government lifting capacity limits in all indoor public settings.

The program was launched in 2020 and continued in 2021 to support the local business community through COVID-19 economic recovery.

The program allowed business owners to extend or establish a new temporary outdoor patio on private or public property to accommodate dine-in services safely during the height of the pandemic.

Uptown business owners looking to operate a patio on municipally-owned sidewalks can still apply through the Sidewalk Patio By-law. For more information go to leamington.ca/patios

Business owners who wish to operate a new patio or expand an existing patio on private property will require site plan approval.
