Summer Salmon
Sizzler is a weekend “Community Event” highlighting multicultural & heritage
culinary using the “Salmon” as the common bond between cultures. The salmon's
abundance throughout the world has shaped culture, religion, society, and even
languages and has history in many iconic cultures including the Stone Ages,
Rome, Europe’s Middle Ages, Asian, First Nations and Modern. Campbell River,
located in Northern Vancouver Island, enjoys water from its immediate
surroundings – rivers, streams, lakes, and ocean passages and rivals on being
known internationally as “The Salmon Capital of the World”. Launched in honour
of British Columbia’s 150th Birthday, the Campbell River Salmon
Festival Society takes the opportunity to showcase the success of British
Columbia’s cultural diversity through food. Hosted on the Weekend
following BC Day
is a Salmon cooking competition with two main components: Smoked Salmon &
BBQ/Baked Salmon with “Amateur” and “Professional” categories allowing
residents, visitors and culinary professionals to engage in an event surrounding
the ultra-popular culinary arts and the cultural icon of the Salmon. Also
hosted is a “Salmon Appetizer” Comp for Professional Contestants only.
Contestants will represent their cultural backgrounds by applying their heritage
to their Salmon recipes; at the very least, giving their dish a name that
reflects this theme and present works that echo images of our Salmon heritage
and their own cultural heritage. On the opening night, Friday, August 7th, the
Salmon Fest Association will be hosting an
Oyster Tasting and Brewery Product Sampling Reception. Tickets are
available at the CR Visitors Centre or Taco Del Mar Discovery Harbour for $15
each (includes Main Gate Entrance).
By sharing
multiculturalism through food, we are taking the opportunity to create inclusion
for all and to increase public awareness, highlighting the contributions made by
Aboriginal people and immigrants in our area. On-site, throughout the event,
“Awareness and Education” will be presented by guest speakers and special V.I.P.
guests featuring “cultural cooking demos”, “celebratory Salmon dancing”,
multicultural food etiquettes and trade show booth space for
multicultural-friendly businesses and non-profit societies, to outline 150
years of multiculturalism in BC. This event is taking place in
conjunction with another local annual event, North Island Logger Sports, on
August
6th,
7th
and
8th, 2010 at Nunn’s Creek Park in Campbell River.
