City Hall approved two more ice cream bikes for you

Your city hall wants you to have more ice cream

Good morning from the island — we're still here, the orcas were spotted at Active Pass, and honestly, life is fine.

We often wonder what our civic leaders are actually *doing* down at City Hall, don't we? Well, sometimes, it's about the small, sweet things. According to the recent business license approvals, it seems our beloved downtown core is about to get a double dose of mobile treats.

* **Hazels Ice Cream Ltd.** secured two separate bicycle vendor licenses, numbers 40784 and 40447. This means twice the chance of spotting one of their charming carts pedaling through our streets, perhaps near Beacon Hill Park, on a sunny afternoon. * This isn't just a whimsical detail; it reflects a continuing trend of supporting small, mobile businesses in Victoria's vibrant core, making our public spaces more lively and accessible.

And speaking of public spaces, there's also a new veterinary clinic opening its doors at 736 Caledonia Ave, the Downtown Veterinary Clinic (license #22734). So, whether you need a scoop or a check-up for your furry friend, City Hall has been busy making sure these services are available. It really makes you wonder, doesn't it, what little delights will be approved next?
