IT’S A WRAP!!
Our fundraisers this year were an incredible success — all thanks to our amazing community for showing up, bidding enthusiastically, and supporting our events both online and in person!
We’re thrilled to share that we exceeded our fundraising goals across the board and raised over $40,000 for the Academy!
On Friday, October 24, 2025, over 200 participants took part in STRIDES & GLIDES across four different categories.
More than half joined us afterward at the Bill Warren Training Centre to celebrate with pizza, beer, and sodas, enjoy the awards ceremony, and connect with fellow supporters.
GLIDE FOR GOLD – Cocktail Dinner:
A huge shoutout to Patric Stettler from P.S. Modern who went above and beyond — his food was both plentiful and delicious, as always!
Olympian and Nordiq Canada CEO Beckie Scott interviewed some of our athletes in front of a sold-out audience.
The live auction was a highlight of the evening, featuring incredible items — including a 3-night stay at Talus Lodge for an Olympic Watch Party!

Our online auction is closed and we’re currently in the process of distributing items to all successful bidders.
A heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors, company owners, retailers, and Academy friends who donated items and made this year’s fundraising events such a success.
