The Society has one paid position, an office coordinator. This
person acts as a festival resource person and looks after the office
duties.

It takes as many as 200 volunteers, as well as the core group of
10-12 Board Members to put on these events.

The costs incurred to put on these community events ranges from
$80,000 to $90,000 per year. The City of Prince Rupert provides a
grant of $15,000 for operating expenses. The remainder of the cost
is covered by donations from the community, and the merchandizing
of hats, t-shirts, and the Prince Rupert Special Events Society food
booths at the festival events. In addition, many community supporters
provide professional services.

If you are interested in becoming a Board Member, please contact
us. We welcome you also to join us at the monthly general meetings.

The Prince Rupert Special Events Society holds its board meetings
once a month (except in December, July and August) in their office
space in the lower level of Prince Rupert City Hall (beside the water
fountain).

The Annual General Meeting will be held February 2011.
