TELUS Friendly Future Foundation launches second annual sweepstakes 

The TELUS Friendly Future Foundation launched its second annual Friendly Future Sweepstakes, this year in partnership with WestJet, offering Canadians 18 and older the chance to win a family trip for four to Costa Rica including flights, a five night stay at Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton and spending money. Additional prizes include the gift of flight for two guests to any regularly scheduled WestJet destination, prepaid gift cards, and more. Tickets start at $25 and are available online until December 5. TELUS Rewards members are able to redeem points for entries in the TELUS Rewards catalogue. WestJet Rewards members can now link their account to TELUS Rewards and convert points to use for entries from the TELUS Rewards catalogue. All proceeds support underserved, socially-minded post-secondary students through the TELUS Student Bursary program.

Building on the continued commitment to support even more youth in financial need across Canada, Canadians can also support the cause through the fifth annual Friendly Future Auction. Running until November 14, the auction features more than 100 carefully curated items up for bid, including tech and devices, vacation getaways, sporting event experiences, exclusive memorabilia and more. 

Since launching in 2023, the TELUS Student Bursary has supported more than 1,600 students across the country who are experiencing financial need and are committed to making a difference in their communities. Notably, 53 per cent of TELUS Student Bursaries in the 2025/2026 cohort were awarded to students who are the first in their family to pursue post-secondary education in Canada and 51 per cent went to students who are actively working during their studies to support themselves financially.

The next application window will open to eligible students in spring 2026. To learn more about the program or to donate to help even more students achieve their dreams, visit friendlyfuture.com.
