Thank You for your donations and the volunteer support!
Phases One and Two of the Lighting Project are now complete!
Approvals received for construction of Phases Three and Four in 2022.
Larch Hills Nordic Society is raising funds to install over 6 km of LED trail lighting at Larch Hills Recreation Area. Thanks to some substantial grants that we have received and the continued generosity of our donors the Society has currently raised approximately $600,000 towards the project, which is very close to covering all four phases. We have completed Phases One and Two for the 2021/22 ski season. We have received Section 57 approval to proceed with construction of Phases Three and Four which will begin in the late spring of 2022 and be ready prior to the 2022/23 ski season. Please see the Project Brief and the Documents section of this page for further details about this project. We plan to have an outdoor grand opening on December 18th, 2021 (details to come).
Thank you to all for your generous support! Happy Skiing!
