Raffle Law In Canada

In Canada, the federal government allows each province to set its own rules regarding the legality of running a raffle or prize draw. In addition, some provinces allow individual municipalities to enact their own rules, so it’s important to research the city and province in which you live before you plan your raffle, so you stay on the right side of the law.
