Congratulations to our Volunteers of the Year!

A big shout out to Kimberley Anderson and Simon Robins, who were awarded the Volunteer of the Year trophy at this week’s AGM!

Kimberley serves on the Board as the biathlon rep and puts in countless hours volunteering at biathlon races - especially in the race office at Biathlon Nationals this year. Simon was Chief of Course throughout Alberta Cup 1 & 2 and Westerns, starting before sunrise each day to make sure everything was in top shape for racing. Thank you both for your incredible dedication, positivity, and the many hours you give to the club!

Snow, wind, cold, and mornings so early that coffee barely works... It’s National Volunteer Week and we’re giving a big shoutout to the absolute legends behind the Canmore Nordic Ski Club. Countless hours out on the course, strapping on zone4 chips, checking off names, bringing snacks, testing skis, wrangling kids, staring at the biathlon range - you keep this whole thing gliding (literally).

Thank you! ❤️
