In celebration of a historic World Juniors a generous donor offered to match up to $13,000 in donations made to the Nordiq Canada Development Fund (NCDF). With help from donors across Canada we hit our goal and these combined donations have contributed $26,000 to the NCDF.
This past season the NCDF was able to help fund a high-performance training camp in BC, roller ski treadmill projects in Ontario and Alberta and a roller ski race series in Quebec. Because of our donor’s generosity we can look forward to supporting more projects this coming season!
