About Us

Summer is too short not to be Kool.

Proud to be Canadian

For a limited time only, our vendors will be celebrating their Canadian heritage by creating fun, refreshing and totally delicious COLD drinks and treats that riff on the cultural icons we hold most dear. Whether you prefer chocolate milk, iced coffees, milkshakes, floats, fruit slushies, ice teas, bubble teas or affogato-style dishes. Whether in a cup or on a stick, you’ll find your perfect cooler here — with a slice of our infamous Canadian humour on the side.

Check the map page to find our vendors located across the lower Mainland, from Westside to Maple Ridge, North Van to Surrey. Click the “List of Flavours” or the “Vendor Directory” on the menu tab to see what they are serving.

Then get out your straw, and never be sorry! Be N-ice! Be Chill! Be Canadian!

About Our Producer - CityFood Events

This initiative to support small business in British Columbia is a project of CityFood Media.

The company’s first property, CityFood Magazine, was published in Canada in 1992 and was the first independent newsprint publication to focus on the country’s emerging food and beverage scene. Today the CityFood brand continues to cover this vital and dynamic industry via an expanded group of platforms: digital, social media, and innovative community projects such as Koolfest.
