Results: National Fast-Food Day - Legislation in Quebec, Canada restricts the location of fast food restaurants for health reasons!
Published on 11/16/2019
Quebec’s Superior Court has determined that municipalities have the right to block fast food chains from opening in certain parts of their region. The court case stemmed from a policy that the Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough attempted to implement in early 2016. The proposed rule allowed for new fast food restaurants to open only in certain parts of the borough. A particular goal was to keep fast food restaurants away from schools, due to research that suggested that students with schools close to fast food outlets consume it far more often than students who don’t have these outlets near their school.
