What Event Sponsorship Looks Like:

  • Advertisements in event literature
  • Company logo in event advertising
  • Banners featuring your company’s logo
  • Vendor booths
  • Free tickets to events for company staff
  • Sponsorship of various activity stations including the popular Sugar Shack or Bannock Roasting

Uniform Sponsorship

Uniforms are required for permanent staff, summer staff including camp counsellors, and volunteers.  Uniform sponsorship will showcase your business as well as demonstrate your support of the Wye Marsh.

Adoption

The Wye Marsh Adoption Program is integral to the care of the captive birds and reptiles that call the Wye Marsh home.  Adoptions are for a one year period during which your company name and logo will be displayed in in one of our most high traffic areas; our Display Hall or Birds of Prey Field. Please see our adoption webpage here for more information.

Wye Marsh Spaces

Wye Marsh’s facilities are enjoyed by over 30,000 visitors annually. This new sponsorship initiative was
