Victoria just got two new ice cream bikes and an arcade.

Your morning just got a little sweeter, Victoria

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: it looks like your day just got a little sweeter, quite literally.

City Hall's recent business licence releases, dated today, show that Hazels Ice Cream Ltd. has secured two new mobile bicycle vendor licences in Victoria. That's licence #40784 and #40447, both for "BUSINESS - MOBILE" operations within Victoria, BC V8W 1P6. What does this mean for us? More options for a treat on a sunny afternoon, perhaps near Beacon Hill Park, or maybe even down by the Inner Harbour as the float planes land. It's a small detail, but these mobile vendors often add a delightful charm to our city's streets.

Speaking of our streets, there's also a new entertainment venture on the horizon. Arcadia, an "ENTERTAINMENT - AMUSEMENT CENTRE," has secured licence #48095 for 707 Johnson St, Victoria BC V8W 1M8. It’s always interesting to see what new spaces emerge for our community to gather and enjoy themselves. Also, for those with furry friends, the Downtown Veterinary Clinic at 736 Caledonia Ave (licence #22734) is now officially on the books.

* Hazels Ice Cream Ltd. secured two new mobile vendor licences. * Arcadia, an amusement centre, is coming to 707 Johnson St. * Downtown Veterinary Clinic is now licenced at 736 Caledonia Ave.

This expansion of small businesses, particularly the mobile ones, truly speaks to the vibrant, post-haste energy that Victoria embodies. It’s not just about grand projects; it’s about the daily fabric of life, the little joys, and the evolving character of our neighbourhoods. We’ll be watching to see where those ice cream bikes pop up first.
