BBQ Application Form

Can we help?

Since 2011, the Mowi Canada West salmon barbeque has cooked up over $193,000 of support for local charities on Vancouver Island. We’re now looking forward to booking fundraising events for the 2020 season.

Mowi is accepting applications from February 1 through March 6, 2020 from groups located between the Comox Valley and Port Hardy. Application deadline is March 6th, 2020.

To qualify, the following criteria must be met by the applicant:

• 100% of proceeds must go toward the applicant.
• Event must serve at least 200 people and (ideally) be open to the public.
• A minimum of 3 applicant members must be on hand to assist with the BBQ from start to finish (including setup, collecting all monies, food service, clean up and tear down). Food Safe training is preferred.
• Must serve only fresh Mowi salmon.
• Applicant member to collect and manage all monetary donations.

Mowi will be pleased to provide the following:

Applications will be accepted until March 6, 2020 and will be chosen based on the criteria above. We regret that, due to the overwhelming interest and time conflicts, Mowi will not be able to satisfy all requests. All applicants will receive a response by March 23, 2020. Please email any questions to: Chef Cori Wheeler at cori.wheeler@mowi.com.  In the application will be asked to provide contact information & event details including date, location, serving time, volunteer information, likely event attendance, etc.
