This time, attendees will have a chance to win tickets to see Canadian in- die band Walk off the Earth, known for such hits as "Rule the World" and "Hold on (The Break)." Participants should keep their receipts, as they will count as ballots toward the contest. Multiple en- tries are allowed. They can be submitted on the Taste of Oakville website. The event is being fund- ed through the Province of Ontario's Reconnect Festi- val and Events Program. "We are grateful to be the recipients of a Recon- nect grant again this year and thank MPP Stephen Crawford and the province for their support," Rebecca Edgar, Visit Oakville's ex- ecutive director said. She added: "We are thrilled to return with Taste of Oakville 2022 at a time when support for our local restaurants is so crit- ical. We hope that the chance to win tickets to a private Walk Off The Earth concert will provide some added excitement, perhaps catch the eye of a new gen- eration of Taste-goers, and provide a fun and lively way to celebrate at the end of March." Visit Oakville's Insta- gram will also be giving away $50 gift cards to par- ticipating restaurants ev- ery Tuesday from Feb. 8 to Mar. 1.
