Giveaway rules

Who runs the giveaway

The MAG Holiday Market 2026 Giveaway (the "Giveaway") is run by Jonas Magnien (the "Organizer"), #13, 5918 5th Street SE, Calgary, Alberta T2H 1L8.

The Canadian Mental Health Association benefits from the market but does not run, sponsor, or administer this Giveaway. This Giveaway is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by, or associated with, Instagram or Meta.

Who can enter

You can enter if you are a legal resident of Alberta and at least 18 years old when you enter.

You can't enter if you are an employee, owner, or contractor of the Organizer or of the market sponsors (MAG Real Estate, Ryan Steele MMG Mortgages, and Stop Marketing), or a member of their immediate family or household.

When to enter

The Giveaway opens on November 13, 2026 at 12:00 AM (midnight) Alberta time and closes on December 5, 2026 at 8:00 PM Alberta time (the "Entry Period"). Entries received outside the Entry Period don't count.

How to enter

There are two ways to enter, using the same short entry form:

• Online: complete the entry form at magmarket.ca/giveaway for 1 entry.
• At the market: scan the QR code at the MAG Holiday Market on December 5, 2026, between 11 AM and 8 PM, and complete the entry form for 3 entries. Admission to the market is by donation, and no donation is required to attend or to enter. You can also enter in person without going into the market: ask a volunteer at the door for the entry QR code.

Instagram bonus: if you follow @magmarketyyc on Instagram and include your handle on your entry form, you get 2 bonus entries. The bonus can be earned once per person. You must still be following @magmarketyyc at the time of the draw. If an entry is drawn, we'll check that the handle given follows @magmarketyyc; if it doesn't, the bonus entries are void.

Email opt-in bonus: if you tick the optional box on the entry form (online or at the market) to get emails from MAG Holiday Market and its sponsors (MAG Real Estate, Ryan Steele MMG Mortgages, and Stop Marketing), you get 2 bonus entries. The bonus can be earned once per person.

• You can submit each form once: once online and once at the market, for up to 8 entries per person including bonuses. Additional submissions of the same form will be disqualified.
• Entries must be complete and submitted by you. Entries made with scripts, bots, or other automated means, or using multiple or false identities, will be disqualified.
• The Organizer is not responsible for entries that are lost, late, incomplete, or not received for any reason, including technical problems.

No purchase or donation necessary

You don't need to buy anything or make a donation to enter or win. Buying something or donating won't improve your chances.

The prizes

There are two prizes:

• Grand prize: 2-night stay in Banff (approximate retail value $500 CAD): two nights in one Superior King room for two adults at the Rundlestone Lodge, 537 Banff Avenue, Banff, Alberta. The prize includes the room only.
• Bonus prize: holiday gift basket (approximate retail value $100 CAD): an assortment of goods donated by market vendors and supporters. Contents will be confirmed closer to the draw and may vary.

Banff getaway conditions:

• The stay is booked for January 8–10, 2027. The dates can be changed. Any change, including deadlines, blackout dates, and how late the stay can be taken, is subject to availability and the hotel’s terms and conditions.
• Transportation between Calgary and Banff is not included.
• Anything not listed above is the winner's responsibility, including meals, parking, a Parks Canada pass, incidentals, gratuities, and travel insurance.
• The room is for two adults: the winner and one adult guest.

Prizes must be accepted as awarded. They can't be exchanged for cash or transferred, except at the Organizer's discretion. If a prize or any part of it becomes unavailable, the Organizer may substitute a prize of equal or greater value.

Odds of winning

Your chances of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period. An entry made at the market counts three times, and the Instagram and email opt-in bonuses add 2 entries each, as described above.

The draw

On December 5, 2026, after entries close at 8:00 PM, the Organizer will select two eligible entries in a random draw. The first entry drawn is eligible to win the Banff getaway. The second entry drawn is eligible to win the gift basket. A person can win only one prize; if the same person is drawn twice, another entry will be drawn.

If you're selected

• We'll contact you by email, using the address on your entry, within 2 days of the draw. You must reply within 3 days of our first attempt to contact you.
• Before being confirmed as a winner, you must correctly answer, without help, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question.
• You'll also need to sign a declaration confirming you meet these rules and a release (see below).
• If you can't be reached, don't reply in time, answer the question incorrectly, or don't meet these rules, you forfeit the prize. The Organizer will then draw one additional entry for that prize. If that person also forfeits, the Organizer may continue to draw additional entries or not award the prize, at the Organizer's discretion.
• Within 14 days of confirmation, the Organizer will arrange pickup or delivery of the prize with the winner. If the prize isn't collected within that 14-day window, it is forfeited, and the Organizer may, at their discretion, draw another entry or not award the prize.

Release

By entering, you agree to these rules and to the Organizer's decisions, which are final. By accepting a prize, you release the Organizer, the market sponsors, the prize suppliers, and their employees and representatives from any liability for loss, injury, or damage connected to the Giveaway or to accepting or using the prize, to the extent permitted by law.

Winners agree that their first name and city may be used to announce the results.

Your privacy

We collect your name, email address, and (if you give it) your Instagram handle to run the Giveaway and contact winners. Entries are stored securely in Microsoft 365. To help spot duplicate entries, we also keep a scrambled (hashed) version of the internet address each entry came from, which can't be turned back into the address. The market sponsors run the market and the Giveaway together, so they may see your details for those purposes. We won't sell your information.

The entry form includes an optional box to get emails from MAG Holiday Market and its sponsors: MAG Real Estate, Ryan Steele MMG Mortgages, and Stop Marketing. If you tick it, the sponsors may use your name and email address to send you emails. If you don't, we'll only use or share your details as needed to run the Giveaway and contact winners, and we won't send you marketing emails. You can unsubscribe from any of us at any time. Ticking the box gives you 2 bonus entries, as described above.

Questions about your information can go to the Organizer through the contact form at magmarket.ca.
