This year we are excited to be partnering with the DVBA, BC Transit and the City of Victoria for the #ArriveAndShop campaign promoting fun and sustainable ways to hit the shops this
holiday!
Participants have the chance to win tickets for two on a Harbour Air Seaplanes flight, a 6 month transit pass, a $100 Modo gift certificate, a 3-month pool and fitness pass and more! They simply need to share how they get downtown and tag #ArriveAndShop for a chance to win. Learn more at downtownvictoria.ca/arriveandshop
