#ShopYK Passport Program is underway

The City of Yellowknife and Yellowknife Chamber of Commerce have once again partnered to support Yellowknife businesses with the launch of the #ShopYK Passport program which officially got underway October 21st.

From now until December 2nd, collect passport stamps at participating Yellowknife businesses and at City Hall. Earn one stamp for every $20 spent and customers may receive 1 stamp without purchase.

Participants who collect thirty stamps can enter their passport into a draw box at any participating business to have their names entered for a chance to win a $3000 shopping spree, to be spent locally. There is no limit to the number of passports that can be entered into the grand prize draw.

Mayor Rebecca Alty stated that #ShopYK has become an annual celebration of local business and that there’s no better time to kick off the program than during Small Business Week.
