Let's Love Local!

#YQSstrong

The #YQSstrong campaign is a way for us to celebrate what we love about St. Thomas and area.

​YQS is the airport code for the St. Thomas Municipal Airport, and even though we can't travel far right now, we are celebrating all the wonderful things we have close to home!

weekly photo contest

Help us celebrate! Submit a photo of your favourite restaurant, a picturesque view, your favourite local art, a pint of craft beer, even a photo of something positive you're doing during isolation - anything and everything you love about YQS!

Share your pictures with us - just post a picture using #YQSstrong on Instagram or use our form below. It will get added to our photo gallery - and also gives you the chance to win!

​Every week we will randomly pick a #YQSstrong picture and share it on social media. PLUS we will be giving the person who took that picture + four other random entries a $25 gift certificate to a local business owned by a St. Thomas entrepreneur.

That's 4 chances to win EVERY WEEK! And you can enter as MANY times as you like!

THE RULES

1. Submit one of your favourite pics that you've already taken. You can enter by filling out the form below, or by sharing your photos on Instagram using #YQSstrong

​Four random winners selected per week and announced on Railway City Tourism's social media with one photo selected to be featured on our social media the following Friday. Chances of winning depends on number of entries received.
