PRINCE GEORGE – You may get lucky enough to walk away with a gift card to local businesses in a new initiative from the Prince George Chamber of Commerce

The new campaign, with the hashtag #HolidayPG, encourages shoppers to frequent local stores and support the businesses that support our community this holiday season.

Between Friday, November 27 and December 17, Chamber of Commerce elves will be out at local businesses, looking for local shoppers.

If your caught shopping local, you’ll receive a local gift card on the spot. For additional opportunities to be entered for weekly prizes, take a picture of yourself purchasing from a local business during the contest period, tag the Chamber and use the hashtag #HolidayPG.

Participants will be entered into a weekly draw for a $100 gift card to a local business.

“This is a great way for us to help smaller local businesses who may not have the budget for a big marketing campaign to have something,” says CEO, of the PG Chamber of Commerce Todd Corrigall.

All social media entries are eligible for the weekly draw, held every Friday afternoon from November 27th to December 17th, with the final draw on the 18th being a mega prize couples event for New Years Eve.

In addition, every Chamber member business that supports this marketing campaign will be entered into a final draw for an identical New Years Eve package
