The primary-ever Tims Boat-Via is coming to Ontario’s Lake Scugog to have fun this August lengthy weekend.

Tim Horton’s is providing sailors, boaters and paddlers a bevy of summer season drinks without spending a dime on Saturday, Aug. 5 and Sunday, Aug. 6.

The precise location is located on Lake Scugog’s westernmost tip close to Port Perry on the Beacon Marina.

“{The summertime} Tims Run is an iconic Canadian custom that’s a must-do whenever you’re gathering with household and associates,” mentioned Hope Bagozzi, Chief Advertising Officer for Tim Hortons, in an announcement.

“Our summers fly by so rapidly and Canadians savour each second of their lengthy weekends — so we thought why not open our first-ever Tims Boat-Via so our friends on Lake Scugog don’t miss a minute on the water.”

The menu contains glowing quenchers, chilly brews and vanilla iced lattes.

Final 12 months, the coffeehouse examined its first automated drive-thru in Tecumseh, eliminating face-to-face communication with workers. The situation was chosen to check the pilot mission due to its high-traffic drive-thru and the willingness of its house owners to take part.

“We’re looking for methods to enhance the velocity in our drive-thru,” mentioned Zahra Lakhani, senior director of format innovation for Tim Hortons.

“Increasingly more friends have been utilizing the drive-thru over the previous few years and that accelerated much more with the pandemic.”
