This is real exciting news! Thanks to incredible hardwork of 2 Doctors who live in Kimberley, Frank and Yvonne, have pushed hard to get the Kimberley Nordic Club featured on the KRAFT Celebration Tour on TSN. This will not only bring huge awareness for the really cool Kimberley Nordic Club it will also bring badly needed financial support for some key projects.
So what do we need from you??? We need everyone to vote for Kimberley! Please vote now – here is Frank’s update note
“We learned last night that we have made it to the final 20 cities across Canada, in the running for one of 10 prizes of $25,000!! We are in a vote-off against Creston’s therapeutic riding programme — a worthy adversary, but we are still hoping to beat them, in order to build a garage for the club’s grooming machines and to help with the junior skier programmes. To do this, we need your help.
There will be an on-line vote next week between Monday, July 9th at 10:00 am (MDT) and Tuesday, July 10th at 9:59 am (MDT). People need to go to the website www.kraftcelebrationtour.ca and click on “Kimberley” to vote. And they can vote as many times as they want — ballot-box stuffing is actually legal and encouraged!
In order to garner enough votes to win this competition, we are hoping that you might consider forwarding this information to as many people on your mailing lists as possible. We know that many of the groups with which you are involved have benefitted in various ways from the Nordic Club and its facilities, and we are hoping that you would lend us your support.”
Our community is now based on tourism since our mine closed. This club has worked VERY hard to improve the Nordic Ski runs and to provide an attractive facility with little help other than their own iniciative and it would be a great help to them to be able to finance the additional work they plan and create an even more enticing facility for locals as well as tourists who bring help to our community.
Hard work deserves reward!
