The most important source of funding is our

Corporate, Business and Community sponsors

as shown down either side .

The sponsors logos & names shown are for 2009 and 2010.

Our commitment to our sponsors is maintaining the previous years list of supporters until April 30 the following year

 

 Without them our North Island 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 Bingo Funds from the

B. C. Lotteries & Gaming

Another major source of funding

is a Grant in Aid from the

City of Campbell River

 

This grant provides funds for the Logger Sports

and Salmon Sizzler competitions and allows the

Children's Events to be FREE to everyone under 19


 

Because of our grants and community support the Salmon Festival was able to assist 31 other community groups 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 $20,000.00 which helped their

charitable cause
