CANLOG Competition Locations

The Campbell River Logging Sports is an event of the annual Campbell River Salmon Festival (SalmonFest) and started as a demonstration show by Wickheim Brothers from Sooke in 1975. From 1975 to 1983 the demonstration show gradually became a local show/competition at the annual July 1 st Campbell River Salmon Festival and in 1984 became a full competition and was certified by CANLOG. The Competition was also moved to Nunns Creek Park and became a separate event run by the Salmon Festival on the 2nd weekend in August. In 1991 the annual Salmon Festival event was moved from downtown to Nunns Creek Park and the date changed from July to August, combining the Salmon Festival and Logger Sports events once again. The event is now titled Campbell River Salmon Festival or SalmonFest.

The show is suited for all classes as we run the 56 events for youth, novice men's and ladies, intermediate, and open men's and ladies.

The Cowichan logger sports competition will be held as part of the Cowichan Exhibition being held at the fairgrounds (Cowichan Exhibition Park, 7380 Trans-Canada Highway, Duncan, BC).

Along with the competition, there is much to enjoy: Beer Garden, Tractor Pull, Snowmobile Flying Act, Roving Magician, Antique Machinery Displays, Food Trucks, Carnival Rides, Farm Market, Livestock Displays, Horse Show, Coastal Cowgirls Show, Hall Exhibits. Our Cowichan competition is a member of CANLOG and will have Novice, Intermediate, Ladies, Open & Canadian Championship events as well as the ever popular “Groucho Marx” contest to finish the day.

North Shuswap Timber Days is a biennial competition held on Canada Day weekend. This competition started back in 1976 and has been involved with CANLOG from the early days The competition has taken place across the Shuswap area, such as Chase, Scotch Creek and Ceilsta. Currently, the competition is being held in Scotch Creek, but we keep the show titled North Shuswap to represent the area and recognize how tightly connected our communities are. We feature events for both men and ladies and within offer events in the open and novice divisions. 

The show is put on by the Bischoff family, who are now a multigenerational logger sports family. The family got involved with logger sports in 1977, not too long after the show started. 

Our logger sports show also has a rich history. For more than 40 years the Boyko family have had played an integral role in the success of our event. Although Alan has officially retired, the Fall Fair Board of Directors has plans to continue on his coat tales.​
