Being FULLY vaccinated against COVID-19 in Windsor-Essex can make you a winner!

Enter the WEVax To Win Contest!
The City of Windsor and the County of Essex partnered with some great local institutions to boost our region’s COVID-19 vaccination rate while supporting our local economy: together we launched WEVaxToWin.ca.

The WEVaxToWin campaign is open to residents of the city of Windsor and the county of Essex who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Residents have the chance to win over $200,000 in prizes.

To receive one (1) entry into the contest, eligible residents must enter the contest online, provide proof of residency in the city of Windsor or county of Essex and provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19.
On September 17th, the WeWEVax to Win prize list got a major boost: Two lucky individuals will be driving away with a 2021 Chrysler Pacifica as winners in the WEVax To Win contest.

The first draw will take place on October 1, 2021, and random draws will continue on a weekly basis thereafter.

Since the contest was launched, close to 25,000 Windsor and Essex County residents have already rolled up their sleeves and entered the contest!

Visit WEVaxToWin.ca for more information on all available prizes and to enter the draw.
