Who We Are

YYC Ice Cream Fest is an annual event organized and hosted by Calgary Meals on Wheels. First started in 2022, this event is meant to highlight local businesses and Calgary’s vibrant culture, while also helping support a local charity.

Businesses from all over Calgary will be joining together for a friendly competition to see who can win the award YYC’s Best Scoop.

our History

After an incredible turnout for our 2022 summer pilot project it was clear that YYC wanted MORE ICECREAM! In 2023 we turned YYC Ice Cream Fest into a full event and we look forward to seeing what kind of tasty chilled treats Calgary has to offer. We look forward to continuing to grow YYC Ice Cream Fest into the coolest Calgary summer tradition.

Our charity

Regardless of age, ability, or life-circumstances, we all have something to offer the world. It may be as simple as a smile, or it may be a testament to the courage everyday living requires — whatever shape our gifts take, they exist within all of us to share. At Calgary Meals on Wheels, we give the comfort of healthy, nutritious meals to anyone who needs it, so they can continue giving themselves to the world. What we aim to offer our clients is far more than full stomachs, we want to offer them the chance to be the heroes of their own stories.
