Canada is witnessing the launch of an unprecedented small business support initiative that's set to make retail history. The ShopLocal2Win contest, now officially underway, represents the largest campaign of its kind ever seen in Canadian territory.
Unprecedented Prize Structure

- $500,000 cash grand prize - the largest single award in Canadian small business contest history
- Multiple secondary prizes totaling $500,000
- Weekly draws and instant win opportunities
- Special bonuses for repeat local shopping
How Canadians Can Participate
Participation is remarkably simple and designed to drive traffic to local businesses across all provinces and territories. Shoppers simply:

- Make a purchase of any amount
- Save their receipt and visit ShopLocal2Win.ca
- Upload their receipt to receive contest entries
Transformative Impact on Local Economies
This initiative arrives at a crucial moment for Canadian small businesses. With economic pressures mounting, the contest serves as a powerful stimulus package driven by consumer participation rather than government funding.
"We're not just giving away money - we're investing in communities," explains the campaign organizers. "Every entry represents real dollars flowing into local shops, restaurants, and service providers who form the backbone of our economy."
Nationwide Business Participation
Virtually every type of local business can participate, from corner stores and boutiques to restaurants and service providers. The inclusive nature ensures that communities of all sizes can benefit, from major urban centers to rural towns.
Enhanced Digital Experience
The campaign features a streamlined digital platform that makes entry submission effortless. Mobile-friendly design ensures Canadians can participate whether they're shopping in downtown Toronto or a remote Northern community.
With no purchase necessary alternative entry methods, the contest maintains accessibility while encouraging meaningful support for local enterprises. The campaign runs through the critical holiday shopping season, maximizing impact during peak retail periods.
This historic initiative represents more than just a contest - it's a nationwide movement to reinforce the vital connections between Canadian consumers and the local businesses that define their communities.
