May 13, 2018 (McDougall, ON) – Cross Country Ski Ontario is pleased to announce Peter Wiltmann of Georgian Nordic Ski and Canoe Club near Parry Sound, Ont., as the recipient of the Heinz Niederhauser Outstanding Coaching Award.

Peter has been volunteer coaching with Georgian Nordic for more than 20 years. His passion and dedication to athletes of all abilities is demonstrated through his ongoing desire to learn and grow as a coach.

“Peter continues to always learn about coaching cross-country skiing and has been involved in ski camps with the Ontario Talent Squad and the Ontario Ski Team. As well, Peter’s passion and dedication to the non-elite athlete is another aspect of Coach Peter that sets him above his peers. He is still the most passionate person about teaching youth to love sports,” cites one of Georgian Nordic’s coaches. Heinz would approve!
