Get ready for Kraft Heinz Project Play voting weekend: October 18-20!
WE DID IT! Saugeen Shores has made it to the top 4 across Canada in the Kraft Heinz Project Play Competition. Now we are competing for the top prize of $250,000. Our organizing committee is confident but we need everyone’s help.
“During the first phase of the Kraft Heinz Project Play competition, we were absolutely confident that our residents would make this happen,” says Mayor Luke Charbonneau. “Now we are calling on everyone to rally together—let’s go after the top prize of $250,000!”
To be sure of success, support is needed from neighbouring communities. “We need people to cast votes from across the region,” says Charbonneau. “Let’s make this a Grey-Bruce-wide community event and show all of Canada what our area is all about.”
Project Play prize money will be going to support the construction of the new Lamont Sports Park on the south end of Port Elgin: an accessible baseball facility that is intended to serve Saugeen Shores and the broader region.
People 13 years of age and older will be able to vote as many times as they want to during voting weekend (October 18 to 20).
“We need everyone to vote and vote often,” says Mayor Charbonneau. “We also need lots of volunteers at our Kraft Heinz Kool-Aid voting station that will be located at the Port Elgin Community Complex in Rotary Hall.”
Voting will be for 48 consecutive hours with all important information listed below and on the attached voting information piece.
The Kraft Heinz Project Play committee invites all local and area media to our Kraft Heinz KOOL-AID voting room located at 600 Tomlinson Drive, Port Elgin from 12 noon Friday, October 18 through to 12 noon Sunday, October 20 for 48 consecutive hours.
One of our committee members will be on hand to answer any questions you may have—we hope to see you!

- Registering for one or more shifts is easy: Simply log on to https://volunteersignup.org/8DMJC and pick your times. If you have any trouble registering, then please just show up at the Plex Rotary Hall anytime between 12 noon Friday and 12 noon Sunday (48 consecutive hours of voting)
- Bring a friend or family member if you wish or come on your own, and a Kraft Heinz Project Play Volunteer will assist you with logging on to the laptop provided, or if you wish, please bring along your own iPad or tablet.
