The most important source of funding is our
Corporate,
Business

Our
2011 & 2012 sponsors
are
shown on either side
Without them our Logger Sports,
Salmon Sizzler, Children's Events
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

THESE FUNDS ARE USED FOR THE
FOLLOWING PROJECTS

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 35 other community
groups in 2011 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 $28,000.00 which
helped their
charitable cause
