PASSPORT TO CHRISTMAS 2026
A NEW WAY TO SHOP LOCAL & WIN BIG!
Your favourite Christmas shopping tradition just got a whole lot easier!
The Fairview & District Chamber is excited to introduce an all-new DIGITAL Passport to Christmas, powered by our Tap into Fairview App!
Say goodbye to paper passports, collecting stamps and remembering to bring your passport every time you shop. This year, simply shop at participating local businesses, scan your receipts and watch your local shopping dollars grow!
For every $250 dollars spent you are entered into the draw to WIN Big!
It’s that easy!
SHOP LOCAL. SCAN YOUR RECEIPTS. WIN LOCAL!
SHOP LOCAL. WIN CHAMBER CHANGE!
Support your favourite local businesses this Christmas for your chance to win!
EVERY $250 SPENT = ONE ENTRY!
And the best part? Your purchases add up across ALL participating businesses!
You don’t have to spend $250 at one time or at one location. Whether you’re picking up a little something here or doing some Christmas shopping there, every purchase counts!
Your leftover balance carries forward! For example, spend $275 and you’ll earn one entry, with the remaining $25 carried toward your next entry. Every dollar counts, right down to the penny!
Maximum eligible purchase amount per individual receipt is $5,000.

WHY DID WE GO DIGITAL?
Passport to Christmas has been a Fairview tradition for as long as many of us can remember. For years, shoppers collected stamps on paper passports, filled their 25 squares and submitted them for a chance to win.
But times change, and we thought it was time to give this much-loved tradition a makeover!
Here’s why we made the switch:
📱 CONVENIENCE
No more forgetting your passport at home, starting another one or carrying around a piece of paper. Your digital passport is always right there on your phone!
🛍️ SIMPLICITY
Shop at participating businesses, scan your receipts and let your purchases add up. No stamps, no paperwork and no fuss!
♻️ LESS PAPER WASTE
Did you know that over the past five years, we’ve printed 56,895 paper passports? Of those, only 25,821 were submitted!
That means 31,074 paper passports were never entered into the contest.
💚 BETTER FOR EVERYONE
Less printing, less paper waste and less administrative work means we can focus more time and energy on supporting our local business community.
We’re keeping the tradition alive while making it easier than ever to participate!
❓ HAVE QUESTIONS? WE’RE HERE TO HELP!

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- You only need to log in to your digital passport once.
- Purchases from ALL participating businesses count toward your total.
- You don’t need to spend $250 in one transaction.
- Your purchases accumulate until you reach each $250 entry.
- Leftover amounts carry forward, right down to the penny.
- Keep your receipts and scan them through your digital passport!
