Kitsilano

“Killer” Ice Cream

Killer Ice Cream, a new venture in Kitsilano, Vancouver, is set to redefine dessert culture with a focus on natural decadence. Co-founded by muralist Leslie Phelan Glik, the shop combines passions for whales, art, and ice cream. The menu features vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt made with B.C. milk or plant-based cashew-coconut, swirled with fresh fruits or herbs. The shop aims to create a unique ice cream experience and plans to raise funds for killer whale protection agencies. Killer Ice Cream is expected to open in February, promising a sweet departure from the ordinary. Follow @killer.icecream.kitsilano on Instagram for updates.

Arc’Teryx vs. Adidas

A Vancouver court has granted a temporary injunction against Adidas Canada’s use of the name “Terrex” for its Kitsilano store, following a trademark infringement case initiated by outdoor gear and apparel store Arc’Teryx. The court ruled that the use of the name was too close to Arc’Teryx’s own trademarked name, potentially causing confusion. The injunction restricts Adidas from using the name for the Kitsilano store until the trademark infringement suit goes to trial. While Arc’Teryx sought an injunction against Adidas’ use of “Terrex” on all retail outlets, the court limited it to the specific Kitsilano location.
