Yellowknife Launching “Made in YK” Holiday Campaign

The City of Yellowknife is launching yet another campaign to encourage locals to do their holiday shopping at locally owned businesses.

This year, the City is partnering with Holiday Markets to offer customers a chance to win their share of $4,000 in prizes. Shoppers who attend a holiday market and spend $20 or more with a vendor carrying locally made products will receive a ballot to enter into the draw. Ballots can be placed in the ballot boxes located at all participating holiday markets.

There is no limit to the number of entries submitted. Gift cards ranging from $250 to $1,000 will be given away to several lucky winners. These gift cards can be spent at a local Yellowknife business of the winner’s choice.

The winners will be drawn on December 18. Holiday markets looking to participate in this initiative can contact [email protected] to learn more.
