The Corporations and individuals who partner with our British Sports Car clubs to support each Rendezvous are an integral part of the success of our annual event. For 2012, we are extremely pleased with the contributions made by the business community.

In particular, we are grateful for the sponsorship we have received from businesses and organizations in the Kenora area. From the beginning, the City of Kenora, the Kenora Chamber of Commerce and local Kenora businesses have recognized the positive impact of our unique event on their town as they work to further define Kenora as a tourist destination. Their eagerness to help and their financial contribution to the 2012 Rendezvous are significant.

Where possible, please recognize and support our Rendezvous sponsors. Their contributions have enabled us to offer a Rendezvous program that far exceeds the value supported by your registration fees alone.

Their logos (web links) and contact details are listed below. Please stay tuned as more corporate sponsors come on board.
