This popular program, back for its fourth year, rewards you for supporting local businesses this holiday season with chances to win weekly prizes. The more stores you support, the more chances you have to win!
In partnership with the Brockville & District Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Brockville, Brockville Tourism, and the River of Lights, the program will be running all December long, starting on November 16 with the “Miracle on King Street” event in Downtown Brockville, and ending on January 6 with the wrap up of the River of Lights.
How does it work?
The program is simple:
- Shop at local businesses
- Collect your receipts
- Turn your receipts in at the Chamber office or enter your receipt info from home using our online submission tool.
3 receipts = 1 ballot towards weekly prizes, and entries that total over $250 of receipts will also be entered into a VIP grand prize draw for $250 in Downtown Brockville gift cards to spend how you wish in the new year.
Turn in your envelope filled with at least 3 receipts (photocopies accepted). The drop-off box for completed envelopes will be available 24/7 just outside of the Chamber office at 3 Market Street West (find the drop box on the side entrance by the stairs). Entries can also be dropped off at the Brockville Tourism Office (16 Market Street East) or City Hall during regular hours of operation.
Eligible purchases include retail, restaurant, experiences, and paid accommodations during the program period (November 16-January 6). Ineligible purchases include essential purchases (groceries, gas, pharmacy), wine/beer/liquor, cannabis, tobacco and vape, lottery purchases, taxes, and gratuities.
For all terms and conditions, and to learn more about the program, visit the Shop Where Your Heart Is website.
Visit us on launch day
Stop by our booth near City Hall on Saturday November 16 at the “Flannel and Frost” section at the “Miracle on King Street” event in Downtown Brockville. We will have free hot chocolate and you can turn in your entries from purchases made that day for a chance to win our first weekly prize: an exclusive River of Lights toque and $25 Downtown Brockville gift card!
We will also have “Hot Frosty” Bingo cards for you to pick up to help you enjoy “Hot Frosty” at home with your family and friends – the film that was largely shot here in Brockville last spring.
Brockville Transit will be operating free of charge that day, courtesy of Downtown Brockville, to help you move around the city and get to the event.
Come join us!
