Ski Club Thanks Community & Donors for Support In November, Peter Gadd, president of the Miramichi Cross Country Ski Club, wrote a fantastic article about the club. A lot of people have remarked that they hadn’t been aware of the facilities or what was available, the article really
opened their eyes and educated them. So, we checked in with Peter again and asked if he could provide an update for our
readers. He said the ski club opened its lighted trail
on January 7th. "The lights are on on four kilometers of trail from dusk until 10:00 pm.
We are very pleasd with the results. The lighting is very effective," he said. The club’s membership looks promising for this season. Peter said
the number was close to 200 and they anticipated reaching at least 300 members if not more. "The skiing is excellent and the participation has been quite good, both
during the day and in the evening in spite of the cold," he said. "We have had skiers travel to ski our trails from Halifax,
Moncton and Fredericton." None of this would have been possible without the support of the community
and donors. On behalf of the Miramichi Cross Country Ski Club, Peter thanks everyone who contributed in one way or another
to the Light Up The Trails Fundraising Campaign. Here is the list:
Donations
Peter invited everyone to come out and enjoy four kms of lighted trails from dusk to 10pm every evening, or to use all
of the 25 kms of first-class trails available any time. It’s your club! |
