Parks & Recreation Events Program Sponsorship

Fun and Unique Opportunities to Bring our Community Together!

The Parks & Recreation Bureau is dedicated to hosting a variety of events and activities that celebrate our vibrant and culturally rich community, offering residents unforgettable experiences and cherished memories. These events and activities have a profound and positive impact on both residents and the community, exemplify the essence of our city, and showcase why York is a premier destination for living, working, and leisure.

Without the valuable financial support and generosity of our corporate sponsors and partners, organizing such events would not be possible.  Our goal is to secure essential sponsorship funds for a range of annual events and activities.

Through the support of our sponsors, we are committed to fostering opportunities that truly make our city exceptional. We extend our deepest gratitude for your assistance and collaboration, as it is through your partnership that we are able to craft these unique and memorable experiences for our community. Your support is invaluable and essential in shaping the vibrant tapestry of our city.
