There is a lot happening at Caledonia Nordic, and we are pleased to share several important updates from recent Board activities. Thank you to all members, volunteers, and partners who continue to help move our club forward.
Trails Committee Update
The Board is pleased to welcome Gillian Recknell and Patrick Turner to the Trails Committee. Their experience and passion for our trail network will be a great addition to the group.
A heartfelt thank-you goes to Mark Earle for his many years of dedicated service, and to all existing committee members whose insight and advice continue to guide our trail planning and management.
Hickory Wing West – Winter Grooming Notice
Please note that Hickory Wing West will not be groomed this winter.
This segment crosses private property, and we cannot legally maintain or groom the trail without proper permissions.
Our goal is to restore this connection as soon as possible in a responsible and respectful way. Until then, Up the Creek will be a Two Way trail to allow access to Hickory Wing and the Greenway.
Day-Use Remote Payment Coming Soon
We are excited to share that remote payment for day passes will soon be available. Keep an eye out for new QR codes posted around the site for easy, on-the-spot access.
A friendly reminder: if you don’t have a membership, please make sure to purchase a day pass—and encourage friends, family, and visiting guests to do the same. These contributions directly support trail maintenance, grooming, and club operations.
Naming the New 2 km Dog Loop
We are thrilled to welcome trail name suggestions for the new 2 km dog loop located on the Terus property.
Send your ideas to tracksandtrails@caledonianordic.com. The Trails Committee will review all submissions, create a shortlist, and the Board will make the final selection. We look forward to announcing the new name later this season.
Thank You to Our Olympic Trials Volunteers
A massive thank-you to the volunteers who contributed countless hours preparing for the Olympic Trials, particularly in snowmaking. Your hard work in challenging conditions—often late at night or before most of us are awake—benefits every member of our club. We deeply appreciate your dedication and effort.
Bylaws Now in Force
We have received a certified copy of our updated bylaws from BC Registries, which means they are now officially in effect. The bylaws will be posted on our website shortly for all members to review.
Member Input on New Policies
With our bylaws now active, members are invited to submit suggestions for policies that will support their implementation. Areas of interest include:
- Privacy
- Conflict of interest
- Finance
- Member code of conduct
- Member engagement and communication
- Strategic planning
- Electronic voting
Please send your suggestions to secretary@caledonianordic.com. Your input helps shape the continued growth and governance of our club.
Vice President Appointment
Under section 4.5.2 of the new bylaws, the Board has appointed Vonda Hofferd as Vice President. The Board determined that filling this role is important to support the President and to ensure smooth management of club business and decision-making.
2028 Para Biathlon World Championships
We are excited to share that Caledonia Nordic has been invited to put our name forward to be considered as host for the 2028 Para Biathlon World Championships, tentatively scheduled for March 2028. After consulting with key volunteers, the Board submitted our interest. We will keep members updated as decisions and opportunities unfold.
