The Downtown Gananoque BIA is encouraging residents and visitors to shop local this holiday season with its “Merry & Bright Passport” promotion.
Shoppers can pick up a passport card listing participating downtown businesses and collect a stamp each time they make a purchase.
Once the passport is filled with 6–8 stamps, participants can drop it off at the Visitor Centre, located at 10 King Street East, or in the mailbox outside if the Centre is closed.
Completed passports will be entered for a chance to win a $500 Holiday Gift Basket filled with local treasures.
The contest runs until December 20th, giving shoppers plenty of time to explore downtown Gananoque, support local businesses, and enjoy the festive season.
Organizers hope the promotion will boost holiday shopping while fostering community spirit.
