Your city hall wants more ice cream, apparently
Good morning from the island — we're still here, the orcas were spotted at Active Pass, and honestly, life is fine. We had a bit of a misty start, didn't we? The kind where the rhododendrons in Beacon Hill Park just seem to glow.
Well, here's the thing. City Hall has been busy, issuing a flurry of new business licences. And what caught my eye? Not one, but *two* new bicycle vendor licences for HAZELS ICE CREAM LTD. That's right, two mobile ice cream operations, both under Licence #40784 and #40447, ready to pedal their frozen treats around Victoria. It does make one wonder if we're preparing for an unusually warm summer, or if the city simply acknowledges our collective sweet tooth.
Beyond the delightful prospect of more mobile treats, we also saw a new Downtown Veterinary Clinic open at 736 Caledonia Avenue (Licence #22734) and ARCADIA, an amusement centre, setting up shop at 707 Johnson Street (Licence #48095). And for those of us who still rely on the good old desktop, Island Key Computer Ltd. has a new licence at 495 Superior Street (Licence #5202). It paints a picture of a city slowly but surely expanding its local services.
What does this mean for us? More options for our pets, more places for entertainment, and certainly more ice cream available on the go. Keep an eye out for those Hazel's bikes this spring; they might just be your new favourite way to cool down.
