Back to SearchWhile travel plans may not be in the cards right now, St. Catharines Economic Development and Tourism Services is challenging residents to take a trip with their taste buds with the ‘Taste the World in STC’ contest.
Building on collective efforts to support local restauranteurs, the department is challenging residents to enjoy the culinary globe at home in St. Catharines by logging meals from participating restaurants.
“A lot of us are missing travel and this is a unique way our residents can get their travel fix by enjoying some top-notch food and supporting their local economy,” said Tourism Marketing Officer Karen Doyle, adding, “there’s a fun competitive aspect to this that we hope really engages the public, getting them out to sample and celebrate some of the international dishes and home-style favourites our local eateries lovingly prepare.”
The challenge will be hosted on the GooseChase App. The app acts as a virtual scavenger hunt portal, allowing those who participate in the challenge, to log the meals they order and accumulate points. Participation is easy:
- Download the GooseChase App and register for an account
- Search for the following game: Taste the World in STC
- Visit www.lovestc.ca to find participating restaurants, or browse in the app, and choose a dining adventure
- Place an order from a delivery service or directly with the participating restaurant, please note food cannot be ordered through the app
- Follow the directions in the GooseChase App to qualify for prizes by completing missions and collecting points. There are two kinds of missions available: GPS check in and photo capture.
There are great prizes to be won including two $500 St. Catharines dining grand prize packages.
The Taste the World in STC challenge runs from Feb. 12 to March 21. For more information visit www.lovestc.ca.
