Calling all chocolate lovers — time’s almost up!
You have until Monday, April 28, to turn in your golden tickets for this year’s Valley Vonka contest. This isn’t just a chocolate fix — it’s a treasure hunt.
Hidden in more than 3,000 bars made by Comox Valley’s own Hot Chocolates are five golden tickets, and at least three are still out there. The bars are scattered across participating businesses throughout the Valley, so your chances are still very real.
Need a place to start? You can still pick up Valley Vonka bars at Peninsula Co-op and Hot Chocolates — but don’t wait, they won’t last long. Each chocolate bar you buy supports YANA (You Are Not Alone), a local non-profit that helps Comox Valley families with children who need to travel for medical care.
Each golden ticket is worth between $780 and $1,000. Prizes include:
- The Ultimate Relaxation Package: A luxurious stay at The Old House Resort & Spa, a delectable dinner at a local restaurant, and a family spa day (Value: $1,000)
- A Healing Escape: Experience the magical Healing Caves at the Kingfisher Pacific Resort and Spa, an experience for four (Value: $780)
- Save on Fuel: A Peninsula Co-Op Gas Card (Value: $1,000)
- Shopping Spree Time: A Canadian Tire Shopping Spree (Value: $1,000)
- Grocery Goodness: A Quality Foods Gift Card (for Comox and Courtenay stores - Value: $1,000)
So whether or not you find a ticket, you’re doing something great for your community.
Find gold, do good, and don’t forget — tickets must be turned in by April 28!
