The Nechako Nordics would like to thank the Northern BC Coaching and Officiating Development Fund for allowing us the opportunity to certify eight additional NCCP Community Coaches. Without these new coaches we would not be able to meet the demand for Jackrabbit and Ski S’Kool cross country ski lessons this winter.Your support is very much appreciated!
