Without them our Logger Sports,
Seafood Cook-Off, Children's Events
and Canada Day events
would not exist

many other community
functions.
Please support our Sponsors
A
major source of income for the
Festival is Gaming Funds from

Another major source of
funding
is a
Grant in Aid from the
City of Campbell River
This grant provides
funds for the Canada Day and
Annual Salmon Festival
Celebrations and
allows the Children's
Events to be FREE at the
Salmon Festival to everyone

Because of our grants and
community support the Salmon Festival was able to assist 38 other community
groups in 2012 through the FREE use of our assets and volunteer help with set-up and
tear down of their event.
The savings to those
charitable groups
exceeded $29,000.00 which
helped their
charitable cause
