After a two-year hiatus, the Sam Steele Society is planning on running Cranbrook’s largest annual festival that will be better than ever and will run June 16– 19.

This successful event attracts thousands of people locally and from all over Western Canada and the northwest United States, with recent attendance numbering over 22,000.

For 2022, the theme of Sam Steele Days is ‘100 Years of Rotary’ celebrating the commitment to community by Cranbrook’s Rotary Clubs.

“Cranbrook Rotary Club formed 100 years ago on February 17, 1922. Over the years, Cranbrook Rotary built the Rotary Clock Tower, the 9th Avenue Arches, Rotary Park and improved Idlewild, Walter Millar, MacKinnon and Moir Parks. We built and operate Rotary Scott Villa for affordable housing, built Rotary Way trail through Cranbrook, and we donate to most if not all charitable causes in our community,” stated Rotary spokesperson Bill Bennett.

“Rotary is all about making the world a better place and having fun doing it!”

The Sam Steele Festival will be utilizing many of these great projects that Rotary has provided throughout the weekend.

We encourage all to come out and participate in the 2022 Sam Steele Days!
