RA Working Group, Nov. 1: Alberta Alpine suggests that all RA's who are running a race this year attend the working group to gather current information. Course covers the administrative side of the race office. Software used is up the individual RA. To register, email Irene Peterson direnep@telus.net
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The North Zone will be hosting the TD/Senior Official Update, conducted by Don Boyce, on November 1 in Edmonton. This update is mandatory every two years for TD's and Level III Officials - however - all are welcome! Officials with some on snow experience will get more benefit from this, however, than someone who hasn't volunteered before or taken a Level I.
Starts at 9:00AM. The venue will be dependent on the turnout, so please RSVP to Mike Lemanski at lemanski@telus.net We will have it at either the Percy Page Centre, Groat Road & 118 Avenue, or at the BDC Conference Centre, Jasper Avenue & 107 Street, depending on turnout.
See upcoming events for other upcoming officials courses.
