President’s Message:
Summer is in full swing, but with the shortening days and declining mosquito levels we invite you to take a moment to start thinking about the upcoming season. Below is what you need to know about registration for the fall and winter programs along with a few club news items:
● Many thanks to Ken Campbell who is retiring from his role as Coordinator for both the Youth program and Race Team after many years of service to the club. We wish him well on his new adventures!
● Last year the club provided ski equipment rentals to over 50 families. The club is committed to updating and maintaining the youth rental fleet with $16,000 budgeted for new skis and ski equipment this year and further investments to come.
● This fall Waterloo Region will be recognizing the club for 35 years of service. Here’s to many more.
Enjoy your summer adventures,
Oliver Conway-White
