Gather your family and friends, fire up the grill and get ready to party. No matter how you celebrate, Costco can help with your favourite foods and beverages.

From past to present
ON JULY 1, 1867 the colonies Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Province of Canada (now known as Ontario and Quebec) were united as Canada, a single dominion within the British Empire. What was once called Dominion Day is now Canada Day, a national holiday filled with parades, cookouts, festivals and more.

Fun foods are always fitting on such an occasion. Break out the barbecue for burgers and hot dogs, or go with something more quintessentially Canadian such as poutine, BeaverTails or Nanaimo bars.

ODE TO ICE CREAM

Creamy and dreamy

July is National Ice Cream Month, and July 17 is National Ice Cream Day. Costco member Halyna Koba of Hamilton, Ontario, wrote the following poem, “State of Mind,” about Costco’s Food Court ice cream.

I licked the satin geometry hurriedly, faster and faster. Between the raindrops, the day was hot; my frozen wonder started to melt. The puddle-muddle overflowed on my mouth and hands and down my T-shirt.

As the sun came out, the treat warmed to even more luscious deliciousness. Chocolate-vanilla-sugar blended to intensify feel and flavour. But the best ingredient, part of the pure enjoyment of the moment, was the absolute chaotic mess.
