Get Active Cross-Country Skiing Kicks-Off
MANITOUWADGE, ON – Februrary 10th, a small group of youth (12yrs of age and up) and adults, led by Northern Trails Ski Club volunteer Debbie Aurola, enjoyed a morning of cross-country skiing as part of the Get Active Program. Conditions were great, the trails well-groomed, though perhaps the temperatures were a little colder than idea (-27 at 10:30am warming to -15 by noon).
Instruction, trail-use and rentals, for those without skiis, were all provided to participants free of charge. Novice and intermediate level skiers alike benefitted from Aurola’s patience and expertise and all had rosey cheeks and smiles when ONN visited at noon for a few photos (above).
The four week Get Active Cross-Country Skiing program is offered with funding/support from the Northern Trails Ski Club, the Township of Manitouwadge and the Ontario Government. For more information or details about other sports being offered through Get Active Manitouwadge contact Renee at the township.
