Poem and Message from Cookie Race Chief, Tom Lambe

Poem and Message from Cookie Race Chief, Tom Lambert

A ski race we yearly convene.
Got suspended by COVID-19.
But you needn’t have fear,
It’ll be back in one year,
If everyone gets the vaccine.
-Alas, the pandemic prevents us from putting on the Cookie Race this year, but the land is snowy and the skiing is good.
We challenge you to get out and ski a kilometer or 15 or 24 or 42, wherever you wish.
Do it on your own, with your household, or with friends spaced two ski lengths apart.

Take a photo, post it to the new Cookie Race Facebook Page anytime from now until Feb. 28, and we’ll enter you to win a prize – of cookies!

A BIG thank you to Parks Foundation Calgary for their generous support!
The support received from Parks Foundation Calgary directly impacted Foothills Nordic’s ability to deliver cross-country ski trails to the publicprogramming to youth and adults at Confederation Park Golf Course for the next two seasons. Funds will be used to:
● purchase new grooming equipment. This equipment is vital for the trails at the Confederation Park Golf Course, Ski at School, and East Village Nordic Loop.
● purchase additional skis for the Ski at School program, where Foothills Nordic brings skiing to between 700 and 1000 elementary students per year;
● purchase biathlon equipment; and
● provide an ancillary benefit of free access to local clubs, school groups, and the public to cross-country skiing on groomed trails in Calgary (Golf Course winter visits are unprecedented in 2020/2021).
"We are extremely grateful for the support from Parks Foundation Calgary. The Amateur Sport Grant will help procure vital equipment that allows Foothills Nordic to make cross country skiing and biathlon accessible for 1000s of Calgarians. We share the same vision with the Foundation and are excited to help enable winter activities in our city parks." Gabor Csonka, President, Foothills Nordic Ski Club. @parksfdncalgary

Skiwalking up a bit of Canadian history. Cosmic Ray Road was originally used to access one of nine Canadian high altitude research laboratories. These labs were built in the 1950's to study cosmic rays. Now the road serves as a low-trafficked hiking trail and even boasts some good nordic skiing later in the winter.

Connecting Banff and Lake Louise, the Bow Valley Parkway is a rollerskiing dream: Fresh pavement, closed to traffic, and some terrific views.

Owls invading Confederation Park! Beautiful creatures! Owls could be heard cheering on the skiers during Foothills Programs throughout the season. Skiers young and old enjoyed the owls hoots and sightings. It is believed the owls enjoyed watching the skiers as well. Photo by Chris Kozak https://www.shuttershockcalgary.com/
