Hawkers/pedlars are mobile salespeople who sell goods, such as souvenirs, clothing, packaged goods, or provide services, such as knife sharpening and shoe shining. In April 2026, City Council approved bylaw changes to make the rules for street vendors and artists easier to understand and more inclusive. This includes changes for Hawkers and Pedlars, beginning March 1, 2027.
