SSC Resouces, Skate Moulding, and Fundraising

Good evening Prince George Blizzard Families!

This weekend's KickStart Camp was a great success, and I am sure all our skaters are looking forward to getting back on the ice for regular practices. I would also like to welcome our new families to the club, we look forward to getting to know you over the next seven months.

Here is this weeks update:

1. Speed Skating Canada Resources

"Up to Speed with the National Team” is a project of five videos led by Short Track National Development Team member Samuel Bélanger-Marceau presenting technical exercises demonstrated by members of the Senior National Team.

3. Fundraising Information

The following note is from Fundraising Coordinator, Amber Browne:

Hello new and returning members,

As the new season is around the corning I wanted to send out information in regard to fundraising opportunities.

As it stands now we have 2 standing accounts, Bottle returns and the Save-On-Food Gift Card program. These accounts conveniently will stay active year-round. This will allow members who know they will be returning the opportunity to fundraising over the summer months but it also will allow people (family/friends) to donate on your behalf.
Please Note - Anyone purchasing Save-On-Food gift cards or donating bottle on your behalf must keep and pass the receipt on to you so that they can be given to the fundraising coordinator in order to be credited towards your fundraising levy.
