The City of St. John’s, after seeking expressions of interest for a temporary tenant, has awarded a lease for the Bannerman Park canteen to the Ukrainian National Federation Avalon (UNF Avalon).

UNF Avalon will operate the canteen until the end of September, offering sweet and savoury snacks, a variety of beverages, and ice cream. The canteen will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (subject to change).

In fall 2024, the City plans to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to find a long-term tenant.
