“Chevrolet has a long history of supporting Canadian athletes and is proud to help our Olympic hopefuls realize their dreams by supporting their coaches as they work together to be their best in London at the 2012 Summer Games,” said Tom Laurie, Chevrolet of Canada’s Olympic Partnership Manager. “We were thrilled to watch our Canadian athletes compete in Vancouver, especially knowing that the Chevrolet Making Dreams Possible program played a role in helping competitors like Jon Montgomery, Ashleigh McIvor, Joannie Rochette, and others achieve their dreams.”
John Bales, Chief Executive Officer of the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) commented “Thanks to the Chevrolet Making Dreams Possible Program, more Canadian coaches of athletes at all performance levels have access to valuable training through coach education programs such as the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP).

“Community Club and school coaches play a critical role in setting the foundation to inspire and grow the next generation of Canadian athletes,” said Jennifer Scott, Head Coach, Burlington Synchronized Swimming Club, one of the 51 Community Club grant recipients. “Well-trained coaches ensure that children enjoy participating in sports and contribute to the development of an active, healthy lifestyle.”

Hi Folks,
Sorry for the delay but here are the E1 results from the Sun Peaks race.
Cheers

A huge thank you to all our great NGSL Coaches this season for all their hard work and dedication to the CSC athletes. We had a tough season with limited snow and space at our own mountain however, they all made the most of it and encourgaed the children to remain positive and excited about skiing.
Thanks also to all the parent volunteers who helped throughout the season with various tasks from den parent, snack making, social events, board involvement and tailgunning for our groups.
I look forward to seeing you all at our Club Banquet. Details of this will be out soon and also keep an eye on the summer calendar for dryland camps and club hikes.
Thanks for a great season!
