Canada Day Event Sponsorship
Canada Day is a special occasion that brings together individuals and families from all backgrounds to celebrate the rich history, culture, and achievements of our nation. Our event, scheduled for July 1, will feature activities at Muskoka Heritage Place and River Mill Park — including live entertainment, local vendors, and plenty of Canada Day fun.
This year, we’re excited to incorporate a sports theme with a FIFA World Cup 2026 connection, bringing an added layer of energy and national pride to the celebration. It’s a fantastic opportunity for the community to come together in unity, spirit, and excitement as we celebrate both Canada and the global love of sport.
This event is delivered in close partnership with the Huntsville/Lake of Bays Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Huntsville BIA, ensuring a vibrant and engaging day for residents and visitors alike.
We are currently seeking sponsors who share our enthusiasm for Canada Day and would like to contribute to making this celebration an unforgettable experience for all attendees. Your support as a sponsor will not only help us in organizing a memorable event but also give your company valuable exposure to a wide and diverse audience.
We offer various sponsorship packages that can be tailored to meet your company’s objectives and budget.
