Sponsors & funders

We are committed to ensuring that Barkerville is sustained as a premier heritage resource attraction and continues to be recognized across BC, Canada, and the rest of the world for its historical significance. Barkerville needs your support to make that happen.

The majority of our budget is dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the historic site’s buildings and artifacts. In order to provide world-class programming, we rely on admissions during our main season as well as sponsorships from generous organizations such as yours.

Through the Adopt a Day campaign, organizations can sponsor a day at Barkerville Historic Town & Park with a $5,000 tax-deductible donation. This donation directly supports Barkerville’s programming and services, offering sponsors theatre tickets, recognition on social media and the website, and gratitude during their adopted day’s activities. Sponsors also receive visibility on the Donor Wall and an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour. The funds raised help sustain Barkerville’s live interpreters, shows, tours, and visitor services during the 2024 season.
