Get Your Holiday Shopping Passport For Chance To Win Up To $3,000 In Downtown Money

There are nearly 150 places downtown this holiday season where you can shop with your Holiday Shopping Passport and collect stamps for your chance to win big.

Bring your passport downtown when you shop, dine, and pamper yourself. Get your passport stamped when you buy tickets at the box office at Showplace Performance Centre and Market Hall in downtown Peterborough. Collect a free stamp when you use the Peterborough Public Library or get a complimentary one when you drop by the Peterborough & the Kawarthas Visitor Centre at 270 George Street North (limit one stamp per person).

The passports feature three early bird prizes of $500 in downtown money to be drawn December 4th, 11th and 18th, with the grand prize of $1,500 in downtown money to be drawn January 8th.

The Holiday Shopping Passports program rewards people for supporting local businesses by shopping, dining and enjoying downtown. Last year’s program saw shoppers stamp more than $2 million worth of Holiday Shopping Passports.

HOW IT WORKS

-> Every time you spend $10 at a participating business, a box on your passport will be stamped.
-> When your passport is filled (20 stamps), complete the form and drop it off at a ballot box at one of the participating businesses.
-> Each completed passport is a ballot for a draw to win downtown money.  

Bring your Holiday Shopping Passport downtown on November 29th for Black Friday as more than 100 downtown businesses put on some of the biggest sales of the year. Keep in mind that parking is free for two hours in downtown Peterborough on Fridays in November, and seven days a week in December, courtesy of the City of Peterborough.
