Congratulations to Lucas Smith formerly of Red River Nordic Ski and Biathlon Club and currently with Whistler Nordic Development Centre for being selected to the Junior IBU Tour 1 Team! Lucas competed in the Junior IBU Trials Races held recently in Canmore. Though officially in the Youth age category, he brought in excellent finish times that put him in the running. The Team will be representing Canada at the IBU Junior Cup races in Switzerland and France. Good Luck Lucas!

Well, the Trivia Night on November 16 was a great success and a lot of fun with Trooper Mann-Baxter performing the job as Quiz Master like a pro. Thanks to everyone who volunteered to make this successful event happen and for collecting all the donations! A very special thanks goes out to Lorene Mann-Baxter who planted the seed for all this and did so much of the legwork! I know there must have been a few sleepless nights throughout it all. Great Job!
