Nor-Am Finals: Salute to the Volunteers
| |
"On behalf of Alberta Alpine, I want to thank and congratulate the over one hundred volunteers who made the Nor-Am Finals such a tremendously successful event. The Nor-Ams are crucially important for our nation's development system, as valuable World Cup spots are on the line for the upcoming season. In addition, Nakiska and Winsport's Canada Olympic Park (COP) were fantastic hosts and deserve a lot of credit for the success of the series. Again, thank you to all the hard working volunteers for your efforts; you should be proud of what you accomplished."
-Adam Hull
President, Alberta Alpine
