MISSISSAUGA, Ont. (Friday, April 24, 2026) <\/strong>\u2014 When Toronto-based marketing agency MAWG<\/a> requested support to move and maintain large volumes of ice for a time-sensitive build promoting Drake\u2019s highly anticipated Iceman<\/em> album release date, The Erb Group mobilized quickly.<\/p>\n

The ice installation was developed as a visually impactful public display, using ice blocks to reveal the album’s release date, contributing to the campaign\u2019s overall visibility and engaging fans from Toronto and beyond.<\/p>\n

The project involved transporting more than 430,000 pounds of ice, with individual blocks weighing 285 pounds and each skid totaling 2,280 pounds. In total, 12 loads were coordinated using six trucks and a team of six drivers, each completing multiple runs to meet tight timelines.<\/p>\n

Operations began overnight on April 19, with product moving from Ice Culture<\/a> in Huron County to Toronto under challenging spring conditions. Rain and fluctuating temperatures, from 7 C to -2 C, added complexity and required precise temperature control and timing throughout the move. Tight timelines meant shipments had to arrive in sequence, with no delays or idle time on site.<\/p>\n

To ensure seamless execution, business development manager Barb Lis and Toronto terminal manager Tom Hill were on-site, working closely with dispatch to coordinate transportation, staggering all arrivals to enable rapid offloading, and allowing the production team to begin building immediately.<\/p>\n

As a Canadian company, Erb was pleased to support a project tied to Drake and help bring a creative vision to life in Toronto. With an established presence in the Greater Toronto Area, the team\u2019s local expertise supported both planning and execution.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople see the final result, but not the logistics behind it,\u201d said Barbara Lis, business\u00a0development manager at Erb. \u201cMoving more than 430,000 pounds of ice overnight required precise coordination across our transportation, cross-docking and cold storage operations. Everything had to arrive on time and in sequence. Projects like this show how logistics works behind the scenes to support cultural moments like this.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The project also reflects the growing demand for non-traditional cold-chain logistics and Erb\u2019s ability to deliver tailored support for innovative, time-sensitive builds and large-scale installations.<\/p>\n
