That’s a wrap on another exciting season of Glebe Spree! Our beloved annual holiday shopping contest brought festive cheer, community connection and an extra reason to support local in the Glebe. This year's contest saw over 19,200 entries, which totals over $2.8 million in local spending in the Glebe!
From late November through December, shoppers collected ballots with every $15 spent at participating businesses — and once again, the response was overwhelming. We’re thrilled to announce this year’s four $2,500 Grand Prize Winners: Rachel D., Ashleigh M., Laura F., and Lori K. Congratulations to all!
We’re incredibly proud of how Glebe Spree continues to showcase the strength and vibrancy of our business community. None of it would be possible without the support of our generous Grand Prize sponsors, who help us bring this beloved campaign to life each year.
Poulet Rouge Bank Street joined us as a Grand Prize Sponsor in 2025, and we’re excited to welcome them to the neighbourhood! This proudly Canadian healthy fast-food chain offers fresh, flavourful bowls made with high-quality ingredients and served with fast, friendly service. Whether you're craving something light, hearty or tailored to your dietary needs, Poulet Rouge delivers well-balanced meals that fit your lifestyle.
We also extend our sincere thanks to Amica The Glebe, another valued Grand Prize Sponsor, for their continued community support. Located at 33 Monk Street, Amica The Glebe offers elegant senior living right in the heart of our neighbourhood. With its warm, welcoming environment and full continuum of care — including Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care — residents enjoy comfort, security and dignity at every stage of life.
On behalf of the Glebe BIA, thank you to everyone who shopped local, participated in Glebe Spree and helped make this year’s campaign such a success. We’re grateful to our sponsors, participating businesses and all the shoppers who continue to support small businesses and strengthen our local economy.
We’ll see you again in 2026 —but until then, keep showing your Glebe love all year long!
