Thank You for Your Support
When the Whistler Nordics started gaining momentum way before the Olympics, we had one major sponsor – Haywood Securities Inc. - who helped us out tremendously. They supported us in a way we had never seen before and as a direct result, the club began to flourish. Today, they continue to sponsor our club so that we can continue to grow and provide opportunities for our members, 115 of which are children. So THANK YOU… Because of your generosity, we are able to offer excellent services and programs to the growing Nordic community of Whistler.
As well, thank you to the

It was a natural fit for the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation to come on board with the Passive House initiative, as this energy conserving building, will be handed over to the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) for use by the Whistler Nordics and WORCA after it has been used as Austria House for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The new Canadian Long-Term Athlete Development Resource Paper - Canadian Sport for Life has been posted.
We encourage you to view this excellent document, especially if you are a coach,
since Cross Country Canada's revised coaching program is closely integrated with this model.
Whistler Nordics Ski Club is pleased to have received a Making Dreams Possible Club Coaching Grant from GM / Chevrolet. This grant will aid us in improving the skills of our coaches and in turn improve the coaching that youth members receive.

for providing the Club with a grant for the purchase of some technical equipment, including a tent/canopy which you may have seen set up during our programs. It will be a waxing tent and shelter for coaches and skiers during training sessions and races. Keep a look out for our red canopy!
