The Big Gig Giveaway campaign hasn't rolled out publicly yet.
It will be announced on Twitter, the website and Special Offers page.

The 10GB Trial Plan is listed now on the device purchase/upgrade page online (the free trial will be BYOD).
The article specifies it will be available at the PNE in Vancouver, K-Days in Edmonton, CNE in Toronto.
One would expect it to be available in-store during the promotion period.

I’d be interested as well BUT on the caveat I don’t need to port over my number.

Noted in my calendar. Thanks OP. This will be the third Wind/Freedom trial. At least I won't be paying to test drive the service this time.

Don’t think so! I don’t see any mention of the promo targeting the Calgary Stampede. I would assume they will target the Taste of the Danforth on the weekend perhaps.
