Every $10 spent at a participating location earns a stamp and a completed passport enters shoppers into early-bird draws on Dec. 2, 9 and 16 for a $500 Boro Gift Card, with a grand-prize draw of $1,500 on Jan. 6.

The Boro Gift Card can be used at over 150 locally owned businesses in the core, including shops, spas, cafes and restaurants.

Returning this year are Double Stamp Fridays, beginning Nov. 27 and continuing on Dec. 4, 11, and 18. Participating businesses will reward customers with double the stamps on all eligible purchases.

“Every independent business downtown contributes something to the character of our community, whether it’s a favourite restaurant, a family-owned shop that’s been here for generations, or a new entrepreneur bringing something exciting to the city,” said Nour Mazloum, DBIA executive director. “When we choose to shop local, we’re doing more than making a purchase. We’re supporting local jobs, investing in our neighbours and helping create the kind of vibrant downtown we all want to see. Our Holiday Shopping Passport program is a fun way to celebrate those connections and encourage people to discover just how much our downtown has to offer when you’re searching for the perfect gift.”
