Grand Prize: Minto Dream Home (Valued at $ 1,799, 213)

Dubbed the “Red Maple”, this dream home built by Minto has been built in a contemporary Canadian theme to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. This gorgeous 5,392 square foot home features vaulted ceilings in its great room, a perfect spot for the family to unwind in the downstairs rec room, and a place for the adults to relax in the loft space nestled above the second floor. This house is a palatable combination of design concepts from all over Canada, drawing inspiration from the unmistakably iconic yellow, white, black, red, and green of Hudson’s Bay’s official colours. Tradition meets modernity with splashes of design, including state-of-the-art appliances and Douglas Fir beams and reclaimed hardwood from the Ottawa river. 

Step out of your new home and behold the 2018 Toyota Tacoma 4×4 Double Cab that you now get to call yours. Plus, you also get some pocket change of $100,000 cash that is a part of this prize.
