7-Eleven offering free slurpees for one day only
The giveaway is available at participating stores across Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, B.C., and Alberta, where the brand has operated since 1969 when they opened their first Canadian store in Calgary.
Customers are limited to one free small Slurpee at participating stores between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. They must have the 7-Eleven app to redeem points but for the giveaway itself, the company says customers can walk right in to get their drink.

In an email to CTV News Toronto, a spokesperson for the company says Slurpees, poured at exactly -2.2 C, have become a 'summer staple' across the country, with Winnipeg recognized as the Slurpee capital of the world.
'The city drinks more Slurpee than anywhere else in the world,' they wrote.
In an interview, vice president of 7-Eleven Canada, Marc Goodman says 'the stat comes from the actual volume of Slurpee that we sell on a per capita basis.'
'This is probably at least 15 to 20 years running that Winnipeg...has been the Slurpee capital of the world. And so we're hoping that there'll be some new competition that's gonna potentially dethrone this amazing city.'
According to 7-Eleven, those visiting its store locations in Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba are most likely to grab a Taquito Monterey Chicken with their Slurpee.
Meanwhile in Ontario, they say that the go-to combo is the Beef Taco & Cheese Taquito. And in Saskatchewan, it's all about the Potato Wedges or Chicken Wings.

‘Hate is hate:' concerns raised over t-shirt design spoofing Tim Hortons logo while taking aim at newcomers
An online retailer is being called out for peddling an offensive t-shirt design, one that takes aim at racialized people working at one of Canada's most iconic coffee shops. The design by a company called AlbertaUnchained says 'Singh Hortons - now hiring immigrants.' Offensive clothes July 25, 2025 An online retailer is being called out for selling offensive t-shirts that take aim at racialized people who work for Tim Horton's. (CTV Calgary) It resembles the fonts and logos for Tim Hortons. Singh is a common South Asian name. 'A piece of satire' In an emailed statement to CTV the company says: To clarify, the 'Singh Horton's' design is a piece of satire. It is not racially motivated, nor is it intended to target any community." Offensive clothes, July 25, 2025 An online retailer is selling offensive shirts that take aim at racialized people who work for Tim Horton's. (CTV Calgary) AlbertaUnchained did not answer our questions about who is operating this company, where they are based, or how many items with this design have been sold. Yet, leaders with the group Stop Hate AB say there's nothing funny about it, as humour is often used as a veil for anti-immigrant sentiment, racism and prejudice. The group 'Stop Hate AB' says it's important to stand up to all forms of hate large or small. 'Hate is hate, and it's in many different forms,' said Nina Saini, executive director for the group. 'If we allow this type of action to be present in our communities and don't speak against it, then in a way we are accepting it and that makes us a part of the problem as well.' Powerful tools She also says that outrage and public condemnation can be powerful tools to make change. Tim Hortons declined an interview about the t-shirt design, but told CTV its 100,000 workers 'are members of our local communities and do not deserve to be exposed to such blatant racism.' It later added '... we will be taking swift action to hold the people behind this accountable.' Since the early 2010s, Tim Hortons' hiring practices have come under fire, for the company's reliance on temporary foreign workers, for paying low wages and reducing opportunities in communities with high youth unemployment. Legal experts say the clothing design does not meet the legal definition of a hate crime, but agrees it shows prejudice. 'It's when it becomes harmful to others -- that's when potentially they can become criminal,' said Doug King, a justice studies professor at Mt Royal University. He says an effective way to condemn prejudicial ideas is 'through the cleansing light of publicity.' -30-
