Fire Ban in Effect – May to October

In response to ongoing wildfire risks across the region, the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club will be implementing a seasonal fire ban on club property from May through October each year.

This ban includes all open fires and campfires, regardless of size or location. As always, the facility remains strictly no smoking or vaping at all times.

The safety of our community, our users, and the surrounding environment is our top priority. We appreciate your cooperation in helping to protect the forest and ensure the long-term sustainability of our trails and facilities.

Let’s all do our part to keep the club safe for everyone—thank you for your support.

Trail Expansion Updates

Thank you once again to all members who shared their thoughts during the recent engagement process. With over 203 formal survey responses—and many additional conversations and comments—your input has played a critical role in shaping the direction of this project.

We are pleased to inform you that we will be moving forward with the Terus Trail Expansion to be ready for the 2025-26 ski season.

In response to member feedback and site assessments, the final trail alignment includes some minor adjustments from the original concept map. These changes were made to improve flow, skier experience, and to reflect environmental priorities. Construction is set to begin after August 15 to respect the local bird nesting season.

Key highlights of the planning and review process include:

• Final routes were selected with a focus on protecting environmental values, supporting grooming efficiency, and maintaining a high-quality Nordic experience.
• Fieldwork was completed by qualified natural resource professionals, including assessments of streams, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and old growth areas.
• CNSC is working with the Province of BC to secure additional permits required under the Water Sustainability Act.
• As always, we are committed to being responsible stewards of the land—going above and beyond regulatory requirements to protect this area.
• This expansion is only possible through strong partnerships: we are operating with permission from Terus (private landowner), in collaboration with Lheidli T’enneh First Nation, and with respect for neighbouring landowners on Cranbrook Hill.

We look forward to creating new opportunities for our members while ensuring thoughtful, sustainable development. More updates will follow as construction gets underway—stay tuned!
