April 14, 2019 (Canmore, Alta.) – As we wrap up yet another incredible season on the snow, it is once again time to reflect upon this past year and, with a new name and brand, begin looking ahead to next. It has been a season full of exciting changes and incredible growth for our skinny ski family, one that has been filled with unbelievable victories and bittersweet goodbyes.
As Alex Harvey retires from competition, he leaves behind him an incredible legacy that includes many newly inspired skiers that hope to follow in his footsteps (or rather, ski tracks). We, and Alex, want to ensure that this new generation of both recreational and competitive skiers have the same support and opportunity that Alex did which is why today, we are coming to you with a humble ask.
We have an unprecedented opportunity to honour this legacy and support this new generation of Canadian cross-country skiers. A group of donors has generously offered to match up to $75,000 in donations made to Nordiq Canada (formerly Cross-Country Ski Canada), doubling the impact of your donation on our sport. We are currently at $55,000 and are in the final month of our matching program and would like to ask for your support to help us achieve the most impact out of this campaign.
Whether it’s your goal to get in shape, to have fun with the family, or be the next Alex Harvey, more donations mean we can get more Canadians on skis and grow our Nordiq Canada Family.
Thank you for your generous support.
