The most important source of funding is our
Corporate,
Business
and Community sponsors
as shown down either side .
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
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 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
