2024 National Winter Games - Snowshoeing 

Our community is very excited and proud of all our athletes.  We are thrilled to announce that we have an athlete attending the 2024 National Winter Games in Calgary, Alberta from February 27 until March 2, 2024. Congratulations Jamie Hooper!

Over the course of the next few months, the community will be working on a number of fundraising activities and initiatives to help raise funds for those athletes who will be competing at these National Games.  One way we have chosen to raise funds is by making a convenient donation online.  Your donation will be acknowledged and receipted immediately after making your donation.  Any support you can give our community (and our athletes) would be very appreciated!

Please consider helping our community today by making a donation to support our local athlete that will be attending National Games.
