The contest is open to any United States citizen, age 21 and over. Destination Canada and Air Canada will notify winners in January 2025, and they will have the opportunity to use the tickets from the time they win through March 2026.  “Canadian winter is a time for joy, trying new things, and reconnecting with our inner child. The ‘SnOOOw Day Giveaway’ is our way of encouraging Americans to step away from their busy lives and immerse themselves in the wonder of Canada’s winter landscapes,” Destination Canada’s Senior Vice President of Marketing Strategy, and Chief Marketing Officer Gloria Loree shared in a statement with Travel + Leisure.  Air Canada operates non-stop flights to 52 cities in the United States, to their major hubs in Canada, which include Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.  “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Destination Canada to offer contest winners the chance to experience the very best of winter in Canada,” Air Canada’s Director of Global Routes Gabriella Lechner shared in a statement to T+L.  In social posts about the promotion, Destination Canada spotlights the exciting winter adventures awaiting travelers, including seeing the northern lights, enjoying fresh lobster, and even a thrilling ride on a dog sled.
