Expression of Interest: Food Truck at Stanhope Municipal Airport

The Township of Algonquin Highlands is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from individuals and food service professionals to operate a food truck or trailer at the Stanhope Municipal Airport for the summer of 2026.

The Stanhope Municipal Airport is Haliburton County’s only aviation facility and is located in the heavily travelled area of Stanhope Airport Road. It is closely bounded by Highway 118 and North Shore Road. During the summer season, these roads are very well travelled by vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrian foot traffic. During the fair-weather flying season of May to October, the airport is used daily by private and commercial aviators and passengers. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s Northeastern Fire Management Headquarters is located directly beside the airport.

The length of the term for the operation of the food truck/trailer must be, at a minimum, June 28 to September 7, 2026, although the selected vendor may operate later into the year if so desired. The food truck/trailer must operate a minimum of five days per week, Wednesday through Sunday, with hours suitable to accommodate late breakfast and lunch. The food truck/trailer may operate seven days per week if so desired.

The closing date for the submission of Expressions of Interest is April 29, at 1:00 pm.
