Request for Proposals: National Winter Sports Development Association (NWSDA) 2018-19

The NWSDA was established through the foresight and donation of the Disbrow family. This generous support of the NWSDA is aimed at assisting coaches, athletes and competitive racing programs in Canada with a long-term goal focus of boosting and sustaining Canada’s performance level and ranking at the international level. 

One of the priorities of support of the NWSDA is to enhance athletic opportunities that our currently available to developing cross-country skiers in Canada. NWSDA has made a commitment to supporting selective developing athletes who have demonstrated potential to achieve international excellence in cross-country skiing and have a clear financial need for support to reach that level of performance. 

Another important priority of the NWSDA is assisting cross-country ski clubs with proven ability to develop competitive skiers and coaches based on long-term development planning. In 2017-18 three BC clubs received grants – Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club, Telemark Nordic Club (Kelowna) and Black Jack Cross Country Ski Club (Rossland).
