Sponsorship Program We are pleased to present our 2018 Sponsorship Program for your consideration. We have a comprehensive benefits package with many opportunities to showcase your brand at the Steveston Salmon Festival. On Sunday, July 1 st, the 73 rd Annual Steveston Salmon Festival will celebrate Canada s biggest little birthday party in the historic fishing village of Steveston! The Salmon Festival began on Dominion Day in 1944 as a community organized Family Sports Day to raise funds to build a children s playground, and has since grown into an event that in recent years has attracted up to an estimated 100,000 people. Despite this growth, the fundamental philosophy of our founders remains the same: to raise funds to support projects in and around the Steveston Community Centre for the benefit of the whole community. The Steveston Salmon Festival recognizes our sponsors as an integral part of our success. Simply put, we can t do this without you! Thank you for considering supporting this signature community event. 73rd Annual Steveston Salmon Festival - Sponsorship Program 3
