Sponsorship Opportunities

To celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of Strathcona Park the Strathcona Centennial Legacy Fund is developing sponsor-partnerships and inviting personal and corporate contributions. The fund's organizers aim to build a financial reserve for enhanced stewardship, capital infrastructure projects, industrial rehabilitation and land acquisitions for Strathcona Park.

Opportunities are available for sponsorship of the 2010 Strathcona Centennial Expedition with contributions going toward the expedition and ongoing toward the Legacy Fund. Additional opportunities will become available for the 2011 province-wide BC Parks 100.

 Use of Funds

As a priority, financial contributions will be applied to carrying out the Expedition. General contributions are accepted, or specific sponsorship opportunities exist (e.g. video production, T-shirts, gear, phases of the Expedition such as the Crown Mountain ascent, community events) which provide additional promotional benefits.

Funds raised over and above the Expedition requirements will be applied to the Strathcona Centennial Legacy Fund for enhanced stewardship, capital infrastructure projects, land acquisitions and environmental rehabilitation for Strathcona Park. Potential Legacy Fund projects include: cable car construction on Della Falls trail, Crest Mountain trail bridge click here for a detailed list.
