PolarPass

Celebrate Local with the 2025 PolarFest PolarPass

PolarFest 2025 is just around the corner, and this year, the community spirit is getting an exciting boost with the PolarFest PolarPass!

From January 16th through February 7th, shop local, collect stamps, and win—all while celebrating the vibrant businesses and attractions of Selwyn Township.

The PolarPass is your passport to fun and rewards. Participating shops, boutiques, salons, restaurants, and cafés across Selwyn Township will provide passport stamps for every purchase made during the event period.

Once you've filled your PolarPass, drop it off at one of the three designated drop-off locations for a chance to win in the PolarPass Prize Draw!

The draw will take place on Friday, February 14th, and one lucky participant will win a $150 gift card toward a Selwyn Township business of their choice—a fantastic way to keep supporting the local economy.
