Thank you to the Community of Squamish for keeping the tradition alive and once again voting the Squamish Days Loggers Sports Festival as the Best Community Festival/Event in Squamish!
2023 saw the celebration of a 66-year legacy that continues to grow thanks to the strength and generosity of the Squamish Community, our dedicated athletes, and everyone who plays a part as a volunteer, sponsor, spectator, or supporter. This year created countless more memories and friends made along the way through months of preparation and brainstorming, right up to the four-day whirlwind of fun and excitement of the festival weekend. Squamish Days is proud to be a non-profit association run entirely by volunteers with 100% of the festival profits going back to local non-profits. Thanks to the success of this year’s festival, Squamish Days will be donating close to $48,000 to local non-profit community groups who help run the festival each year. 2023 Community Groups Squamish Rotary – Rotary Beef BBQ Squamish Elks No. 119 – Peter Harris Pancake Breakfast Squamish Valley Equestrian Association – Axe Throw Invitational and Concessions Howe Sound Curling Club – Parking and Gates Royal Canadian Legion Branch 277 – Bed Races Howe Sounds Marine Rescue Society – Parade Britannia Beach Volunteer Fire Fighters’ Association – First Aid/Medical 2023 Board/Committee Members & Organizing Team President, Festival Coordinator & Sponsorship - Jacqulin McNicol Vice President & Show Secretary Rebecca Bolkowy Treasurer, IT - Dara Sklar Secretary & Soft Sponsorship Lurene McNicol Director - Marie Grindlay Director & Timber Training Coordinator Meghan Aasen Hall Director - Harold Wilson Director - Russ Robertson Grounds Logistic Specialist - Rob Drygas Show Chairman and Head Official - Dale Addis Master of Ceremonies - Armand Hurford Show Office - Debbie Patterson Events Wood Crew - Stacy Bell, Dave Stitt, Stirling Hart, Pascal Morneau Rob Drygas, Darren Doak Head of Sound – Andrew Storie (DJ Poundz) Head Grounds Crew – Kirby Reid Tree Act - Brian Bartow
