The Society has an office coordinator who acts as the festival resource person and manages the festival office.
It takes as many as 300 volunteers, as well as the core group of 10-12 Board Members to put on these events.
The costs incurred to put on these community events ranges from $80,000 to $90,000 per year. The City of Prince Rupert provides a grant of $20,000 for operating expenses. The remainder of the costs is covered by donations from the community, and the merchandizing of hats, t-shirts, and the Prince Rupert Special Events Society food booths at the festival events. In addition, many community supporters provide professional services.
