2018-2019 Alta Gas Ski at School Grants – BC Recipients
Cross Country Ski de fond Canada (CCC) is thrilled to present the 2019 Ski-at-School program Powered by AltaGas Grant Recipients! This is the fourth year of the AltaGas Ski-at-School grant, available to clubs and schools across Canada. Thank you for everyone’s growing interest from coast to coast!
In the final selection CCC and AltaGas chose six applicants nation-wide; three schools and three clubs. Three are from BC:
Kimberley Nordic Ski Club (Kimberley, BC): Last year the Kimberley Nordic Ski Club had a successful ski school program for grade 4 students and are expanding their programing to target 220 children.
Grow Distributed Learning School (Williams Lake, BC): Following the aftermath of the 2017 wildfires, the GROW Homeschool Program decided they would engage in community rebuilding with an emphasis on sport. They will build capacity by assisting the Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club in recovering from fire damage to the facility. As well, they will encourage affordable access to outdoor physical activity for all youth in the Cariboo Chilcotin area, and expand participation by partnering with community organizations.
Caledonia Nordic Ski Club (Prince George, BC): The Caledonia Nordic Ski Club has had an established ski school program for over 10 years. They are developing a mobile program unit to reach out to those schools that struggle to visit their club due to financial constraints.
