Larch Hills is Leading the CCBC Annual Club Fundraiser!
The Larch Hills Nordic Society is fundraising this year for two new snowmobiles and we are currently leading the CCBC/Nordiq Canada fundraising drive.
9 BC clubs have now joined the Annual Club Fundraiser, raising $16,000 already! This includes $2,600 from 3 anonymous donors that want to support all participating BC clubs, with a total of $18,000 up for grabs. In addition, we’ve already seen a number of 4-figure donations. More donor comments:
“Thank you to all the grooming volunteers!”
“Thank you for all your volunteer efforts. This donation is in memory of Alan Kosugi. He felt welcomed as a member and a volunteer during the BC Winter Games.”
“In loving memory of Bryant, whose spirit lives on in the Beatton ski trails. Dearly Loved, Never forgotten.”
“Thank you for all those great volunteers that make Larch Hills Nordic the best in the world. We feel privileged to have this so close to our town!”
“Keep up the good work! And we’ll help : )”

Research on Energy Deficiency in Sport
My name is Alex Lavigne, I am a Canadian physician focusing on sports medicine. We are a group of sports medicine researchers from the United States and Canada leading one of the biggest studies in the world regarding Relative Energy Deficiency in sports; I linked the handout to this email.
Winter sport athletes are under-represented in research, and this is why I am seeking your help to distribute our online survey to all skiers affiliated to your organization.
Our work will have a positive impact on the prevention and management of Energy Defiency in Sports. We need as many recreative and elite athletes as possible (athletes 15 years and older) to fill out our questionnaire. It takes less than 10 minutes. Here is the link: https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/REDS-Global
Thank you,
Alex Lavigne, MD Physician-resident and researcher University of Montreal
