The Fort St. James Community Foundation acknowledges that the Corks & Kegs fundraiser event takes place on the traditional and unceded territory territory that since time immemorial has been home to Nak'azdli Whut'en.
About Corks & Kegs
Enjoy a summer Saturday with local craft beers, wines, food pairings, live music and a silent auction at the shore of Stuart Lake, while raising funds for the Fort St. James Community Foundation.
The foundation would not be able to operate without the generous donations we receive from the people, businesses, and government in Fort St James and surrounding communities. We love our community and appreciate your attendance during the first-ever Corks & Kegs Fundraiser as it allows us to continue supporting initiatives that strengthen our local economy, society, culture and ecology.

In addition, you’ll receive a thank you basket featuring swag from our foundation and the booth you sponsored.
We invite you to send ‘pourers’ for the booth to represent your company. If you don’t have any delegates to be present at the fundraiser, we’ll work with our network of local volunteers to man the booth.
