Beginning on Canada Day, July 1 and running through August 28, 2026, Oshawa Tourism invites residents and visitors alike to experience the city in a whole new way. Using our interactive mobile platform, participants can check in at attractions, complete fun challenges, uncover hidden gems, and support local businesses while earning points and prizes along the way.
 

Whether you're revisiting your favourite Oshawa spots or discovering somewhere new, the Hometown Tourist Challenge is designed to inspire exploration and celebrate everything that makes our city unique. From cultural attractions and outdoor adventures to local shops, restaurants, and landmarks, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
 

Gather your friends, challenge your family, and see how much of Oshawa you can experience this summer. The more you explore, the more chances you'll have to win great prizes while supporting the local tourism community.
