The most important source of funding is our
Corporate,
Business

Our
2010 & 2011 sponsors

Without them our Logger Sports,
Summer Salmon Sizzler and Canada Day events
would not
exist and we would not be able to
support many
other community functions.
Please support our Sponsors
A
major source of income for the
Festival is Gaming Funds from
the
B. C. Lotteries & Gaming
THESE FUNDS ARE USED FOR THE
FOLLOWING PROJECTS

Another major source of
funding
is a

City of Campbell River
This grant provides
funds for the Canada Day and
Salmon Festival and
Salmon Sizzler competitions
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 37 other community
groups in 2010 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 $24,000.00 which
helped their
charitable cause
