Your bike-powered ice cream might just save our summer
Good morning from the island — we're still here, the orcas were spotted at Active Pass, and honestly, life is fine.
Well, here's the thing about summer on the island: it often feels like we're just waiting for the next little treat to pop up. And it seems City Hall is quietly making way for just that. According to recent business licences issued, we're seeing two new mobile ice cream vendors from HAZELS ICE CREAM LTD. These are specifically listed as "BICYCLE VENDOR" licences, numbered 40784 and 40447. What does this mean? More sweet relief pedaling through the neighbourhoods, I suspect.
### More Than Just Scoops
It’s not all about the sugar rush, though. The data also shows a new Downtown Veterinary Clinic opening its doors at 736 Caledonia Ave, licence number 22734. And for those looking for a bit of classic entertainment, ARCADIA, an amusement centre, has set up shop at 707 Johnson St, licence number 48095. An arcade, imagine that. It feels a bit like stepping back into a simpler time, doesn't it?

These small business additions, particularly the mobile ice cream, suggest a continued push for vibrant street life and local convenience. Keep an eye out for these new ventures as you wander through the Inner Harbour or along Fort Street's antiques. You might just find your new favourite spot.
