NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A purchase does not improve your chance of winning. Contest run by Air Paddle Canada Inc., operating as Ottawa Valley Air Paddle, 67 Madawaska Street, Arnprior, Ontario (the “Sponsor”).
Entries are earned from 12:00 a.m. ET on October 1, 2026 to 11:59 p.m. ET on December 15, 2026 (the “Contest Period”). Ten draws are held, one per day, from December 6 to December 15, 2026. Entries earned at any point in the Contest Period remain eligible for every draw that has not yet taken place. Each draw is made from eligible entries received by 6:00 p.m. ET on the day of that draw; entries received after that time are eligible only for later draws.
Open to legal residents of the Province of Ontario who are 18 years of age or older (the age of majority in Ontario) as of the date of entry. Employees of the Sponsor and their immediate family and household members are not eligible. Prizes must be collected in person at the Sponsor’s Arnprior location, so entrants should be able to travel there.
A person may earn at most one free entry in any calendar week, counted across the online form and the in-store ballot combined. Calendar weeks run Monday to Sunday; the first week of the Contest Period is the short week of October 1 to October 4, 2026. Free entries and purchase entries have an identical chance of being selected. Purchases of gift cards do not earn entries; purchases made using a gift card do. Entries attached to a purchase that is later refunded, returned or charged back are removed.
Ten (10) prizes are available, one awarded per draw day. Each prize is a ski or snowboard equipment package with an approximate retail value between $750 and $1,500 CAD. The total approximate retail value of these ten main prizes is $10,000 CAD. Each draw is designated in advance as a draw for skiers or a draw for snowboarders; the designations and the brand partner for each day are published at win.ovap.ca.
Weekly bonus draws. In addition, eight (8) weekly bonus prizes are available, each a $50 CAD Ottawa Valley Air Paddle gift card (approximate retail value $50 CAD each, $400 CAD in total). One weekly bonus draw is held each Sunday from October 11 to November 29, 2026. Each weekly draw is made from all entries earned from the Sunday to the Saturday of the preceding week; the first weekly draw, on October 11, covers entries earned from October 1 to October 10. Entries in a weekly draw are not divided by ski or snowboard; each eligible entrant’s chance is proportional to the number of entries they earned in that week. An entrant may win at most one weekly bonus prize. Winning a weekly bonus prize does not affect eligibility for the main draws. Weekly bonus prizes must be collected in person at the Ottawa Valley Air Paddle store, 67 Madawaska Street, Arnprior, Ontario; they are not mailed or sent electronically.
Prizes must be accepted as awarded, are not transferable and may not be substituted or redeemed for cash. The Sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater retail value if the advertised prize is unavailable.
One winner is selected at random for each draw day from the eligible entries for that day’s pool. Each draw is designated in advance as a draw for skiers or a draw for snowboarders. An entrant’s entries are allocated to the pool or pools they qualify for, based on the categories they have purchased in and the preference stated on the entry form. An entrant who qualifies for one pool has all of their entries in that pool. An entrant who qualifies for both — because they have said they do both, because they have bought in both categories, or because they have given us no indication either way — has their entries divided equally between the two pools. No entry is ever counted in more than one draw at full value.
An entrant may win only one main prize. A main-prize winner is removed from all remaining main draws. Weekly bonus draws are separate and are described in section 4.
Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries in the applicable pool at the time of each draw. As at the date these rules were published, the total number of entries is not known.
Before being declared a winner, a selected entrant must correctly answer, unaided, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question.
A selected entrant is contacted by email and telephone using the details supplied with their entry. The selected entrant must respond within 72 hours of first being contacted, answer the skill-testing question and sign a declaration and release. The prize must then be collected in person at 67 Madawaska Street, Arnprior within 7 days of first contact. For a weekly bonus prize, the selected entrant must respond within 72 hours and answer the skill-testing question, and must then collect the gift card in person at the Ottawa Valley Air Paddle store, 67 Madawaska Street, Arnprior, within 7 days of first contact. If a selected entrant cannot be reached or does not respond within 72 hours, declines, fails the skill-testing question or does not collect the prize within 7 days, the prize is forfeited and another entrant is drawn from the same pool.
Collecting a prize includes taking part in a short filmed handover in store. If an entrant does not wish to be filmed, they should say so when contacted; this does not affect their right to the prize.
Information collected with an entry is used to administer the contest and, where the entrant has expressly consented, to send marketing email. Marketing consent is never a condition of entry. The Sponsor may also use entrants’ contact details (email address, phone number, name and postal code) to create custom audiences on advertising platforms such as Meta and Google. These audiences are used to show contest and store advertising to entrants, to stop showing contest ads to people who have already entered, and to reach other people with similar interests. The details are converted to an encrypted (hashed) form before the platforms match them against their existing users. Entrants may opt out at any time by emailing hello@ovap.ca, and will be left out of future uploads. Opting out does not affect any entries. Information is handled under the Sponsor’s privacy policy. Winners consent to the use of their first name and last initial in announcements of the results. No other identifying information is published. Selected entrants are contacted privately by telephone and email using the details supplied with their entry.
Entries that are incomplete, illegible, fraudulent, automated or submitted by any means other than those described above are void. The Sponsor reviews referral activity, including multiple referrals made from the same internet connection, and may void referral entries it reasonably believes were obtained using false, duplicate or fictitious identities, without affecting the entrant’s other entries. The Sponsor may disqualify any entrant it reasonably believes has tampered with the entry process. The Sponsor is not responsible for entries that are lost, late, misdirected or not received for technical reasons. The Sponsor may cancel or amend the contest if it cannot be run as planned, subject to any required regulatory approval. All decisions of the Sponsor are final.
