 - Each food booth must supply both hot and cold water for hand washing (for the members of your group). The use of cold water alone is not acceptable. The health inspector recommends using a coffee urn to heat up water for hand washing. If this poses a problem, water may be also be heated in a kettle, as long as it is kept warm in a carafe or a thermos.

To make the system easier, groups can pay for the total number of soft drinks and bottled water purchased from the Society at the end of the day by cheque payable to "Medicine Hat and District Canada Day Society", rather than making payment each time items are picked up. Any left over soft drinks (purchased from Canada Day Society) you may have at the end of the day can be returned to the Canada Day Society truck provided that the plastic rings have not been removed from six packs of soft drinks or plastic covering from bottled water pack. You may not return individual cans or bottles.
