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. Well, here's the thing about City Hall this week: it seems the focus, at least according to new business licenses, is on keeping us all cool.

Hazels Ice Cream Ltd. has snagged two separate mobile bicycle vendor licenses. You heard that right, two. Licenses 40784 and 40447, both for mobile operations. What does that mean for you? More chances to stumble upon a bicycle cart doling out cold treats, perhaps near Beacon Hill Park or along the scenic seawall. It's an interesting move, doubling down on a mobile presence, and it certainly speaks to the entrepreneurial spirit finding its footing even in the quieter corners of our city.

Beyond the sweet treats, there's a new veterinary clinic, Downtown Veterinary Clinic, setting up shop at 736 Caledonia Ave. Licence #22734 tells us they’re ready for business, adding to the care options for our four-legged friends. And for those seeking a bit of retro fun, Arcadia, an amusement centre, has opened its doors at 707 Johnson St., permit #48095. It promises to be a lively addition to the downtown core.

These new licenses, all issued recently, paint a picture of a city quietly expanding its offerings. Keep an eye out for these new ventures as you explore Victoria.
