Sponsorship & Fund Raising

The Board raises funds to support ongoing projects, and to develop the artistic and cultural heritage living village of Pigeon Inlet.

Fund raising is carried out in a number of ways.

Running community activites requires a large number of volunteers. If you are interested in the Foundation's goals and our activities, consider volunteering you time. The foundation needs a variety of people with a variety of skills and interests. Volunteers are needed for: committee work, helping with the seniors' Holdin' Ground Project, setting up McKay Lodge for "A Time in Pigeon Inlet" and cleaning up after each performance, and selling "Bay Roberts Cultural Foudation Products" including moose burgers and moose sausages.

For "A Time in Pigeon Inlet" and during the "Holdin' Ground Festival," volunteers are needed for acting, musical and storytelling performances; as well as for demonstrations of specific traditional skills and crafts.

• Selling items on tickets, including the portrait of Ted Russell by well known Newfoundland artist Gerry Squires.
• "A Time in Pigeon Inlet.". - so far the "Time" is breaking even. We did not expect to make a large amount of money on this event. We are staging it to increase awareness of Ted Russell's works and as well as preserve the idea of a "Newfoundland Time."
