Welcome to Virtual Assistants Week at CanScribe!

Our week-long virtual celebration is to commemorate International Virtual Assistants Day this upcoming Friday, May 21, 2021! If you signed up to participate, you would receive daily emails to earn ballots that enter you into draws for prizes. Here is what you can expect for CanScribe’s first annual Virtual Assistants Week:

Monday

We’re going to warm up for our week of fun with a word game featuring Virtual Assistant terminology. You will receive a ballot towards the Daily and Grand Prize just for completing the game. As a bonus, if every answer is correct, participants earn an extra ballot entered to win our Grand Prize at the end of the week. 

Tuesday

It will be another warm-up day with two-word games featuring Virtual Assistant terminology. The same rules apply; you will receive a ballot towards the Daily and Grand Prize just for completing the games. As a bonus, if every answer is correct, participants earn an extra ballot entered to win our Grand Prize at the end of the week. 

Wednesday

A scavenger hunt will take centre stage to mark the mid-week celebration for Virtual Assistants Week! CanScribe will email you the clues, which you will solve using our website: www.canscribe.com. The daily email will detail how to submit your answers and the entry rules are as follows:

• Participants must complete all clues to earn a ballot. You will receive a ballot towards the Daily and Grand Prize just for completing the game.
• Entries with all correct answers earn an extra ballot entered to win our Grand Prize on Friday, May 21, 2021.

Thursday

Before our big celebration on International Virtual Assistants Day, we will take things a bit slower with the last word game of the week featuring Virtual Assistant terminology. The same rules apply; you will receive a ballot towards the Daily and Grand Prizes just for completing the games. As a bonus, if every answer is correct, participants earn an extra ballot entered to win our Grand Prize at the end of the week. 

Friday

The day is finally here; International Virtual Assistants Day, and we have a lot planned!
