Sponsorship for KCBIA Events & Programs

The Downtown Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) is a not-for-profit organization representing the interests of approximately 750 businesses and 350 commercial properties in the downtown core. The KCBIA collaborates with our members and community partners to execute events and campaigns that drive traffic to our members and showcase downtown as a vital part of our community as well as a great place to do business.

We build our brand as a reputable source of information to the public, a vital resource for our members, and a united voice of advocacy on key projects and interests to our members. We use marketing channels to reach our desired audiences with key messages and calls to action and to increase traffic and business ventures downtown.

The programs and events we organized are undertaken to promote #DowntownKamloops as a thriving community, a great place to do business, eat, shop, play and live! To successfully run our programs and events, we rely on various funding including grants, membership, and sponsorship. Sponsorship is a great way for businesses to demonstrate commitment to the community and build brand recognition.

Our goal is to capitalize on Downtown Kamloops’ assets, inspiration, and potential to further create and utilize good public spaces to promote people’s health, happiness, and well-being. Showcasing experience is a great way to engage residents, visitors and workers.

Springfest promotes community involvement and neighbourhood loyalty. It is shown that providing healthy activities in public space encourages visitors to stay longer and invite others to return.
