Your involvement:

Consistency is important for many of our skiers and to provide the best possible programs. For this reason we ask that you try to make as many of the program days, for your chosen program, as you can. We realize that most of us will need to miss a day here or there - for business or personal reasons - in this case just advise the program co-ordinator as much in advance as is possible. In general the programs require, per day, about 4 hours of your time (program dependent, 3 hours per evening) as a ski partner You may use you lift ticket for your personal pleasure outside those hours.

To register or to obtain more information:

For further information or to register, please contact Ross Holden at (613) 692-4898 or Volunteers@CADS-NCD.ca, as soon as possible. Training starts in December.
