Riverside Rewards Raffle: Here’s How It Works

If you’ve been in Riverside lately (or passed by, at least), you may have noticed that a portion of Queen Street East is going through some improvements. While the construction is necessary, it has impacted business for many of our BIA members.

To help support them in getting through it, the Riverside BIA is launching the Riverside Rewards Raffle, a fun and easy campaign to reward YOU for shopping, dining and using services at businesses located within the Queen East construction zone.

Riverside Rewards Raffle will run from Tuesday, February 17th to Wednesday, March 25th, 2026. There will be (5) weekly winners of a $100 gift card each and (1) winner of a $1000 gift card pack of $200 gift cards from five local businesses (winner’s choice!!) for the raffle’s grand prize.

For those of you who participated in our Riverside raffles last year, you may be a bit familiar with how this works. If not, here’s a quick rundown of the Riverside Rewards Raffle (and how you can win up to $1,000 worth of gift cards!!!):

1. Make a purchase of at least $10 from any of the participating businesses in the Queen East construction zone. That’s basically all the businesses along Queen E between Broadview to East Don Roadway.

This includes businesses like The Broadview Hotel, Eastbound Brewing, Oma Chiropractic, Dark Horse Espresso Bar, Il Ponte, La Femme Strong, The West Cork, just to name a few! Find the full list of participating businesses here.

2. With your purchase, scan the QR code on one of the Riverside Rewards Raffle countertop signs or postcards that you’ll find in the participating businesses or click the button on our webpage. That’ll direct you to a quick and easy form, asking for a screenshot/photo of your receipt or of a Google Review you’ve given for a participating business you went to. Simply complete the form and that’s it! You can do so daily during the raffle period for maximum chances to win.

3. Winners will be chosen randomly and announced weekly. If you do win, the Riverside BIA will contact you through email with instructions on how to claim your prize.
