Triple O’s is serving up a special treat menu for our furry friends starting around International Dog Day this month.
New Menu for Dogs at Triple O’s
The new Pup Menu launches on August 19th with new dog-friendly treats available at drive-thru locations in BC, Alberta, and Ontario. The Triple O’s Pup Menu features two items that will make tails wag with joy:
Pup Patty: A 4oz 100% fresh Canadian Beef patty, cooked to perfection with a dash of salt and pepper. Unseasoned patties are available upon request for more sensitive pups.
Pup “Shake”: A delightful 4oz cup of real whipped cream, the perfect sweet treat for deserving dogs.
The Pup Menu is available exclusively at Triple O’s drive-thru restaurants; pets are not allowed in the dining area (unless they are service or guide dogs). Not valid at White Spot full-service restaurants, BC Ferries, PNE, Royal Alex Hospital, Aldergrove Community Centre, YVR, arenas, or universities.
Dietary consideration: Please note the Pup “Shake” contains dairy, and the Pup Patty is seasoned with salt and pepper (though it can be requested unseasoned). The Triple O’s Pup Menu is intended as a special treat and not to replace your pet’s daily dietary requirements. It should be enjoyed in moderation as some pets are more sensitive than others.
International Dog Day at Triple O’s
To mark the official launch of the brand-new Pup Menu and to celebrate International Dog Day, Triple O’s is giving away 5,000 Pup “Shakes” and Pup Patties to the first 100 pup guests at each participating drive-thru location on Monday, August 26.
Be one of the first 100 guests with your dog at a participating Triple O’s drive-thru location on Monday, August 26th.
Receive a free Pup “Shake” and Pup Patty at your location (one per pup, while supplies last).
Share your experience on social media using the hashtag #TripleOsPupMenu for a chance to be featured on Triple O’s official channels.
Follow Triple O’s on Instagram for more info about the new menu. FAQ and all participating locations are listed online.
There’s a new sign outside the Vancouver Convention Centre positioned perfectly for selfies — and for promoting the upcoming Vancouver Whistler 2025 Invictus Games. The I AM Vancouver Whistler campaign launched in July to encourage people to spread the word about the games by registering for ceremonies tickets, signing up for the newsletter, and building a buzz.
I AM Vancouver Whistler 2025 Invictus Games
This is the first of ten larger-than-life striking black and yellow interactive signs, featuring the Games’ signature visual identity, created by Four Host First Nations artists: Levi Nelson (Lil’wat Nation), Mack Paul (Musqueam Nation), Ray Natraoro (Squamish Nation), and Olivia George (TsleilWaututh Nation).
Each sign offers a super-sized inspirational backdrop for an I AM photo or video and a scannable QR code to access the dedicated website which asks: “The Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 are coming. The Games will bring together wounded, injured and sick military service members and Veterans from around the world on a courageous journey of recovery through the healing power of sport. Their inspiration? I AM Unconquered. I AM Invictus. On your journey, what’s your I AM?“
I AM is the motto for the Invictus Games and is inspired by the last two lines of the poem Invictus by English poet William Ernest Henley: “I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.” It reflects and defines the Invictus Games’ core purpose: to provide a platform for personal achievement, to compete not just against each other, but against oneself.
Nine similar I AM interactive signs will be popping up in prominent and well-loved Vancouver and Whistler locations leading up to the Games (sites to be announced soon).
#ShareYourIAM
All ten I AM signs were manufactured in Canada, the first (and only) illuminated I AM sign being the largest at 10’w x 8’h x 6’d, weighing 976lbs. The subsequent nine signs will each measure 10’w x 8’h x 3’d and weigh just over 400lbs.
