Calling all chocolate lovers — time’s almost up!
We have extended the deadline to turn in golden tickets until May 14th 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.
There are still two golden tickets outstanding. To find a ticket, participants must completely unwrap their Valley Wonka chocolate bars, as the ticket is located inside.
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)
The Valley Vonka prize event and celebration for 2025 will take place on May 21.
So whether or not you find a ticket, you’re doing something great for your community.
