Gathering for A Taste of Winter 2014 at the Bill Warren Training Centre, Canmore Nordic Centre
Special Thanks to Our Sponsors and Donors for Their Generosity.
The 3rd annual Taste of Winter netted over $10,000 in support of our Athletes. We are grateful to support these inspiring young athletes who live and train, year-round in Canmore with the Alberta World Cup Academy, a National Training Development Centre.
