s logging is Campbell River’s heritage and prime industry, in 1975 the Salmon Festival introduced a Loggers Sports demonstration as part of the celebration and in 1984 it became a sanctioned competition of the Canadian Logger Sports Association (CANLOG)!
Although an impressive record, the World Class Competition would not exist without the support of the city, sponsors and spectators. Thank you for making it possible.
This first formal competition consisted of 1 Canadian Championship, 15 events and $5,000 in prizes. Popularity and support for the event began to grow each year and in 2004, with a prize package of $25,000, the Salmon Festival’s Logging Sports event hosted it’s first

The show will then be licensed to various other broadcasters, such as the Outdoor Life Network (OLN) in the U.S. and organizations as far away as Australia and The Philippines, to broadcast to their own audiences.

The Dutch program Ruben vs. Geraldine, a reality television show based in The Netherlands, has sent the two competitors on a cross-Canada trip, engaging in various competitions against each other along the way. The show, according to Lilburn, “Is kind of like Amazing Race, except it’s just the two of them,” and at their Campbell River stop, they will compete on Saturday (Aug. 9) night in various Logger Sports events. They will be burling, single-hand bucking,
axe throwing, and doing a power saw cut and choker race. Part reality TV and part travel show, Ruben vs. Geraldine is just another way the world will learn of the region and its beauty, as well as the friendly folks who call it home. Combined with the international broadcasting of the Logger Sports events themselves, we’re sure to find more visitors in the region once they can call their travel agents and get something booked.

Salmon Festival’s Logging Sports Salmon and professional wrestling together at last? By Mike Davies – Campbell River Mirror Salmon Festival attendees who find themselves in Nunns Creek Park on the Friday night are in for a first-time surprise.
E.O. Mike Becherer, who will challenge the reigning British Columbia Champion, Kenny Doll, for this title.
A loud, energetic and angry surprise.
I am really looking forward to wrestling in front of my home-town crowd,” said Becherer. “He is the champion for a reason. It would be amazing to capture the title from him here in Campbell River.”
One of the new features at this year’s Festival is the addition of Pure Wrestling Association (PWA) matchups on the mainstage after the completion of the day’s Logger Sports competitions, before the musical guests start their sets. Beginning at 7:00, festivalgoers will be treated to PWA bouts involving such athletes as Cremator Von Slasher, Scott Steel, BJ Laredo, TJ Harley, as well as a match between Campbell River’s own
Admission to the wrestling action, and everything else on offer each day (other than food and beverage purchases) is included in your admission to the Salmon Festival itself. $5 per person gets you in the gate, and children two and under are free.
