Anyone is welcome to approach Canreef for sponsorship. I offered Big Al's in Calgary the opportunity, the conversation did not last long.

It may be a silly rule, but if our current sponsors get disillusioned with Canreef, then we end up with a revenue shortfall. The board is free to members but unfortunately it is not free to operate. So if the board is to remain alive, that revenue would have to made up elsewhere. We felt that we'd rather have corporate partners, rather than charge membership fees to help offset the operational costs. We felt that keeping the board free was the most important aspect of the board and we want to keep it that way.

So, I'm very sorry for the silly rules, I know sometimes it feels a bit much, but we've imposed them because we're trying to protect the long-term interests of the community. I hope you can see our perspective. I'm sorry if it gets inconvenient at times and we thank you for your understanding.
