Yes. There are 6 contests running across all Black Press BC sites that are the same. This is one of them. I had submitted them all as Black Press (but from the Surrey website) but some are still labelled as Surrey.

Also, they all feature the "early bird" draw of BC Lions remainder of season tickets as part of the entry process. UNLIMITED ENTRIES

And finally, I think we had a Kelowna Capital Now Black Press contest for BC Lions with a stay at the Burrard Inn that no one was sure of the end date. It has continued and can still be access via Kelowna Capital Now, Vic News or Surrey Now Leader DAILY ENTRY only based on a PT day (reference the Archives for May 2025 chc=3514426573&chi=572281)

Sorry about that! It came to my email as Black Press Media (no mention of
Westcoast Traveller or Surrey Now), so that's what I checked for on the Contestgirl site before I shared it.

Also, the rules to say "unlimited entries" for the BC Lions "early bird" draw, but it's not clear if there are unlimited entries for the main draw.

Good luck if you're entering!

The early bird BC Lions draw is unlimited (because it's part of the 6 general Black Press BC vacation contests running across their various sites). If CG doesn't consolidate the two version of the Victoria trip contest, it makes little difference since it's unlimited entries.

The stand-alone BC Lions contest is one entry per day only.. (see other West Coast Traveller posting). Black Press is quite unclear on whether there is more than 1 prize, but the game dates are listed as Score 4 Club Seats to a BC Lions home game to one of the following dates: June 21, July 19, July 27, August 16. So how can they continue to run a contest that someone already won unless their are more prizes.

Thanks for trying to clarify 123ABC. I wish they would just run them as completely separate contests. I guess it's all tied in with joint sponsorship and such. Ah, well, I'm sure the prize(s) will be worth the effort for whoever wins. :-)
