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 and live music and a silent auction at the shore of Stuart Lake, while raising funds for the Fort St. James Community Foundation.
Last year, during our inaugural Corks & Kegs, we raised close to $28,000.00! 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 we look forward to having you at our second Corks & Kegs Fundraiser as it allows us to continue supporting initiatives that strengthen our local economy, society, culture and ecology.
You’ll have plenty of opportunities to further support our community foundation during the event with our famous Treasure Chest, silent auction and our new 50/50 draw.
