Nova Star Award: Steveston Salmon Festival Organizing Committee
E
very July 1, Steveston hosts the largest non-profit Canada Day celebration in the country, and hosting the event takes a small army of volunteers.
The Steveston Salmon Festival is planned and executed each year by a group of 30 volunteers aided by a small staff team. The event’s organizing committee, led by co-chairs Barb Nimchuk and Tracy Paldy, was recognized for its commitment and innovation with a Nova Star Award
Best place to volunteer? Best of

Monday. “I’ve been co-chairing with Barb (Nimchuk) with the Steveston Salmon Festival for about eight years now and I feel incredibly proud to not only be a part of such an event, but more so to be able to work with the 300 to 400 outstanding volunteers that we have on the day and leading up to the event,” said Paldy. The festival began in 1945 with a sports day theme—created to help raise money for a Steveston Park playground. Today, the event continues to raise funds for Steveston, but has turned into a much larger celebration. Each year the event attracts over 70,000 people. It features a pancake breakfast, a parade, entertainment, cultural show, carnival rides and a salmon barbecue.
Congratulations to all this year’s Volunteers are Stars Awards nominees
