Put away your laptop or pen and paper (if you're old school like that) because the sun is shining, the grass is green, the birds are singing, and that can only mean one thing — summertime!
Now's the time to chill and take advantage of all that summer in Ontario has to offer. And if you want something new and exciting, Nescafé is holding a Day of Icy Moments event on July 30 and 31 (event details below) in downtown Toronto to celebrate the launch of the new Nescafé GOLD Iced Original Cappuccino and Salted Caramel Latte.
There will be ice sculptures with prizing inside (up for grabs once they melt) and delicious iced beverage samples for the ideal midday pick-me-up.
Nescafé will also be keeping Ontarians cool for the rest of the summer with pop-up events across the province, where you’ll have the chance to taste what might soon become your new favourite drink. Locations include Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Kitchener, Thornhill, Ottawa, Willowdale and London.
So if you love to pause and enjoy the moment, and you're looking for ways to cool down this summer, here are some essential summer must-haves.
