Download the Cape Breton Waterfall Season App
The Waterfall Season App is a must-have for this contest! This app lists the pre-selected waterfalls and their locations where you can scan a QR code for your ‘digital passport.’ Each pre-selected waterfall included in the Waterfall Season campaign will have a sign located near the falls. Before you begin your waterfall adventuring, be sure to download the app as some locations may not have cellular service.
How do I Enter the Contest?
After you’ve installed the app, visit one of our waterfalls and scan the QR code when you find the Waterfall Season sign near the falls. Every QR code scan is eligible for a stamp. Three STAMPS gives you your first automatic entry into the draw for a Cape Breton Adventure Weekend. Every stamp after the first three will qualify for an additional entry.
If you do not want to use the app and QR codes, you can take a photo of yourself and our waterfall sign and send the photos to [email protected]. We must receive three photos of yourself at different waterfalls to be entered into the contest. Every extra photo received will qualify for an additional entry.
