The Strathcona Nordic Ski Club is a non-for profit organization dedicated to providing programs for all ages and promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. The success of the club is dependent on our excellent volunteers who share their time and varied talents. There are many ways to get involved with the club from joining the Board of Directors to coaching or helping with special events and races. Every little bit helps!

The Strathcona Nordic Ski Club requires Skill Development Program registrants as well as Devo and Junior registrants to complete volunteer hours. In previous years, we asked one adult member of each family to volunteer for a minimum of 6 hours per season. If a family was unable to commit to the volunteer requirement, they were asked to pay a $100 volunteer fee. We will continue with this approach for the 2024 season; however, we have modified the minimum number of volunteer hours required for each program. For more information please refer to the club Volunteer Policy.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is made up of volunteers who oversee the programing and running of the club. The board meets for 2-3 hours once a month. For more information or to get involved contact the Club President.

Skill Development Program

Our Bunnyrabbit and Jackrabbit programs are the core of our club. These fun programs introduce and foster a love of skiing in our children. They could not run without our energetic volunteer coaches and support crew. Contact the Rabbit Coordinator for details on how to get involved.

Coaching

Coaching is a great way to get involved and improve your own skiing skills. Our coaches are NCCP certified and the club provides coach training to interested members. Coaches are always needed for Jackrabbits, Learn To Ski, School Programs and Masters Recreation. Contact the Coaching Coordinator.

Events

Officials

We need volunteer officials to plan and run our races each year. Typically we have a Coast Cup and Loppet each year, along with smaller club races.  Every second year we have a BC Winter Games Trial for Zone 6.  To volunteer or find out what is involved in being an official, contact: races@strathconanordics.com.

Communications

We can always use help spreading the word about our great programs and all things Nordic for our ski club. Communication tasks are as follows:

  • photographers

  • maintaining a photo database

  • writing newsletters

  • social media butterflies (in various areas of the club)

  • maintaining the club board at Raven Lodge

  • writing newspaper press releases

To help out with any of these areas, please contact info@strathconanordics.com.
