Your new favorite ice cream delivery service is coming

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 what's happening at City Hall, or rather, what's *coming* from City Hall.

There's a subtle shift in the air, you see it in the way the light hits the water differently in James Bay these days, and you see it in the business licenses. Hazels Ice Cream Ltd., for example, just picked up two new licenses (numbers 40784 and 40447) as a mobile bicycle vendor. What does this mean? It means more ice cream, delivered right to you, likely along the Galloping Goose Trail, or perhaps pedalling through Beacon Hill Park. It’s a small thing, but these mobile businesses are often the heartbeat of a community, bringing convenience and a touch of whimsy.

* Hazels Ice Cream Ltd. secured two new mobile bicycle vendor licenses.

* Arcadia, an amusement centre, is setting up shop at 707 Johnson St.

* A new veterinary clinic, Downtown Veterinary Clinic, is opening at 736 Caledonia Ave.

And while you're enjoying your mobile ice cream, you might notice the arrival of Arcadia, an amusement centre, now licensed at 707 Johnson Street (license 48095). That's a little buzz, isn't it? A place for entertainment in the heart of things. It shows a growing confidence, a willingness for new ventures to root themselves here, much like the oak trees along Fort Street’s antique district. What does this all tell us? That our city continues to quietly, steadily, evolve.
