The 2025 Spirit of Hospitality Lottery is Live
[Vancouver, BC] The BC Hospitality Foundation (BCHF) proudly announces the launch of the 7th Annual Spirit of Hospitality Lottery, running from September 15 to October 30, 2025. Sponsored by the Hotel Association of Vancouver and CHEK News, this year’s lottery aims to raise $65,000 to help hospitality and tourism workers across the province who are facing financial crises due to health challenges.
All prize packages are exclusively Canadian, celebrating the best experiences our country has to offer while emphasizing the importance of supporting local Canadian businesses. The 2025 lottery also features a higher total prize value than in previous years, giving ticket buyers even more chances to win memorable getaways.
Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, this year’s prizes total more than $40,000, including unforgettable experiences such as a two-day Rocky Mountaineer rail tour, a Big White ski vacation, a Shuswap Lake houseboat adventure, and a luxury Québec City escape.
“Every ticket sold allows us to provide immediate and confidential support to workers and families so they can focus on recovery,” says Alana Dickson, executive director of The BC Hospitality Foundation. “Entering our 20th year, the ongoing demand for support underscores just how vital this work remains for our community.”
