Back after 10 years...Early Years Divsional Cross Country Ski Meet 2019

Back after 10 years... The SJAD Divsional Cross Country Ski Meet! The idea of bringing students together to share the love of cross country skiing was the vision of Derek Bramadat. After a decade it was reintroduced. March 7 2019 at Bourkevale Community Club.
The meet:

• Perfect weather
• Perfect venue
• Perfect distance 

Luck was on our side and the students reaped the benefits.  Big thanks to Dan Sarahs, Jeff Hampshire and Bourkevale Community Club for the vision and bringing it all together. Look forward to bigger and better in 2020.

The proceeds from this fundraiser fund the ski at school program for Winnipeg Schools. Brooklands and Lakewood take part on behalf of the St. James Assiniboia School Division. As a result of this fundraiser these schools recieve 6 lessons this winter at Windsor Park Nordic Centre.

The four represented well and St. James Assiniboia teachers did the association proud and came home with the GOLD medal with 38 laps in one hour to win the challenge.

Thanks to the St. James Assiniboia Teachers Association for the support.
