Vaccine Lottery

Outdoor prizes such as camping and hunting added to Alberta’s vaccination lotteries

Jul 14, 2021 | 1:34 PM

The province has announced another incentive for Albertans to get vaccinated.

The Outdoor Adventure Vaccine Lottery gives residents a chance to win fishing licenses, Canmore Nordic Centre ski passes and a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity for a special license hunting tag for bighorn sheep, trophy pronghorn, elk, or turkey.

Albertans can win these prizes by getting their first and second dose of COVID-19 vaccine and by registering in the lottery by 11:59 p.m. on September 10.

The province said that due to the unique nature of the prizes, Albertans who have already registered for the Open for Summer Vaccine Lottery will have to register separately for the Outdoor Adventure Vaccine Lottery if they want to win any of the outdoor prizes.

Winners are expected to be announced on September 17.

“Alberta is going the extra distance to get as many people vaccinated as possible. That means adding more targeted, unique prizes to our vaccine lottery,” said Premier Jason Kenney.

“The Open for Summer Lottery has moved our vaccine numbers up and these new prizes should appeal to some folks who have not yet got around to being vaccinated.”

To date, 74.2 per cent of eligible Albertans have gotten their first dose of vaccine, while 55.9 per cent are fully immunized with two doses.
